“…The results shown in Figure 14 confirm the theoretical principle that the open-circuit voltage generated by the piezoelectric transducers is proportional to the mass of the inertial weight placed on the transducer and inversely proportional to the resonant frequency. The collected power can be expressed as equation (1), where m is the weight, A is the amplitude of the excitation signal, e is the electric absorption constant of the material, T is the mechanic absorption constant of the material and w is the frequency of the excitation…”

“…In previous development projects, the Electronic Design Group of the University of the Basque Country developed a bogie-mounted sensor to measure wheel rolling and sliding on railway tracks. 1 This system was installed on a the bogie of a railway unit. In the first steps of that project, the objective was to validate the prototype and evaluation method, and therefore, batteries were chosen as the temporary power supply.…”

The goal of the research presented in this paper is to design and incorporate new technologies into railway bogie-mounted sensors. It is often impossible to connect the mounted systems to physical wires due to their location in an inaccessible position or the distance to the energy source. Therefore, another power source must be used to solve this problem. Energy harvesting technology is an increasingly popular solution that extracts energy from the ambient environment and transforms it into electrical energy. Using piezoelectric transducers, it is possible to transform the vibrations experienced by the bogie into energy that can be used to power the sensors. A prototype with multiple piezoelectric transducers has been designed, built and subjected to tests to validate the technology. The experimental results for all of the different configurations tested and levels of energy collected are presented.

“…For a known wheel diameter and a ride without slip this method provides precise velocity measurements. But as friction between wheel and rail is insufficient in situations of high acceleration a serious amount of slip occurs especially in crucial situations [2]. But even in situations of constant velocity, the uncertainty regarding the current wheel diameter causes a proportional uncertainty in velocity measurements.…”

This paper presents a novel approach for the determination of True-Speed-Over-Ground for trains. Speed determination is accomplished by correlating the received signals of two side-looking radar sensors. The theoretically achievable precision is derived. Test measurements are done in two different scenarios to give a proof of concept. Thereafter a series of field measurements is performed to rate the practical suitability of the approach. The results of the measurements are thoroughly evaluated. The test and field measurements are carried out using a 24 GHz frequency modulated continuous wave radar.

“…The modern systems of monitoring of the dynamic condition of vehicles intended to detect faults fundamentally use concepts and hypothesis, which are based on in-depth filtration methods and the time series analysis [1]. The practical implementation of such systems is carried out on the basis of evaluation of the dynamic behavior of both the rolling stock [2][3][4][5][6] and the track structure during passing of the train [7][8][9].…”

The paper discusses the preconditions of the methodology development of diagnosis system for assessing dynamic impact of the rolling stock on the basis of processing and analysis of data obtained in operation on the results of measurement of parameters that characterize dynamic vibration processes of the mechanical system of “rolling stock – track”. On the basis of usage of the processing methods of time series and stochastic processes there has been established the relationship between these dynamic processes and wheel defects, and designed experimental data processing algorithms, which in the future will be an integral part of the intellectual systems of decision making when assessing the impact level of the rolling stock on the track. The article presents some results of the experimental and theoretical research of the rail accelerations data, which have been registered during passing of the train. The computational algorithm of the specialized pre-processing of the multidimensional signal recorded by this system is described. The advantage of this algorithm is that it does not require additional information about the train speed on the section equipped with the monitoring system, about the number of wheel pairs of locomotives and train cars, and about the distances between the wheel pairs. Based on the processing results of accelerations of the rails there have been set the parameters of increase in all statistical indicators with increase in the train speed. It is noted that the level of indicators for accelerations of the rails in the vertical direction is twice as high as the corresponding parameters in the horizontal direction.
