Abstract

The Dynamic Railway Diagnostics system (DRD) is a DSP-based measurement system, that analyses and stores the deformation signal of the rail caused by a passing train. The weight of the carriage is calculated by signal processing methods, by digital signal processors. This architecture makes the system capable of performing also other signal processing algorithms on this signal, e.g. faulty wheels can be detected. The DSP-based measurement method is a new approach in the field of in-motion weighing. This method can weigh and perform the diagnostics on trains travelling up to 160 km/h.
