Railway Wheel Profile Monitoring System
This system monitors railway wheel profile parameters using lasers and cameras as trains pass. It detects wheel defects and wear in real-time for proactive maintenance.
Technical Specifications
Overview
Real-time Wheel Profile Monitoring
The TW16 Wheel Profile Monitoring System (WPMS) provides wayside, free-attendance monitoring of wheel profile parameters for trains passing at line speed. By utilizing coordinated rail-bound laser and camera technology, the system accurately captures vital wheel data to determine wear patterns and identify anomalies. This enables proactive, condition-based maintenance, helping to enhance railway operational safety, optimize maintenance schedules, and reduce overall costs for mixed-traffic environments.
