P&D Rolling Stock Wheels
Monitoring System
The measurement signals are collected and analysed by the autonomous control system. The measurement results are downloaded automatically through a wireless link, to the remote operator´s computer. The wagons are automatically identified and the measurement results are saved for each wheel. The system database stores the historical measurement data and other information pertaining to life history and servicing of wheels - including turning the bogies.
The system was designed for storing information about profile and diameter of wheels and flat spaces and build up on their tread surface. The system makes it possible to define the required information about cars, logging the distance covered by each wheel and visualisation of their wear over time as well as their repairs, inclusive generation of the wheel wear reports. The system can integrate all measurement data collected by many units of a transport company.
Measurement results of wheel geometry obtained with the portable gauges and with other methods are archived in a database, with the powerful graphical user interface. Moreover, information about boogie measurements and other car service operations defined by the system user are also saved.
System database makes it possible to print wheel wear reports according to the user selected criteria, e.g., presenting wheel, bogie, and cars lists sorted according to:
- wheel flange height value
- wheel flange width value
- wheel diameter values
- differences of wheel flange widths in a bogie
- differences of wheel diameters in an axle
- tread surface condition, including:
- current list of defects
- list of cars with no actual measurements
- car condition report
- train condition report
- Product leaflet
