Summary
In-service vehicles equipped with sensors and GPS systems can act as probes to detect and analyse real-time vehicle vibration. A compact on-board sensing device has been developed and used for the track condition monitoring system. The diagnosis software provides the function of detecting track faults using the root mean square (RMS) of the car-body acceleration. It also allows analysis in the
time-frequency domain using the wavelet transform. Field test results in local railway lines showed that the system is effective for practical application.
