An autonomous, low cost, distributed method for observing vehicle track interactions

An autonomous, low cost, distributed method for observing vehicle track interactions

Experience and field studies have shown that track geometry alone is not a good predictor of rail vehicle response. This paper describes a family of "Health Card" devices - an autonomous device that can be distributed on rolling stock to analyse the vehicle responses. As a distributed syst...
