What is a Vehicle-Track-Interaction Monitoring System? Why might it be interesting to have a Track Monitoring System on a Train? What are the restrictions of such a Monitoring System? Summary Seite

4 Why is the Vehicle-Track-Interaction so important? Why is the Vehicle-Track-Interaction so important? The vehicle-track system has to be maintained that save operation is possible and guaranteed Unsave in this context means high forces, high wheel unloading, high strike angles, high slippage in the wheel-rail contact Essential is the wheel-rail-interaction because it determines the height of the interacting terms (forces, slippage, accelerations, etc.) That makes measurements of the interaction of vehicle and track essential for maintenance Diagnostics of the vehicle track interaction would help to make an accurate prediction of the development of this interaction behavior possible Seite

5 The Traditional Approach Vehicles are assessed separately Testing for the acceptance of running characteristics of railway vehicles according to EN14363 Periodical Maintenance Intervals according to the maintenance handbook Visual Inspection of parts Measuring of wearing parts (e.g. wheel) and crack detection Exchange of Components according to the maintenance plan or after measuring Test drives after maintenance works... Seite

6 The Traditional Approach Tracks are assessed separately Visual Inspections of tracks Observations by the train driver and the train crew Measurements of track geometry with track recording cars Measuring of wear of the track, switchings, etc. Crack detection of components of the track... Seite

7 The Traditional Approach Vehicles are assessed separately Tracks are assessed separately Rarely consideration of the interaction between vehicle and track, rarely permanent diagnostics Seite

8 The traditional way of diagnosis of the interaction between train and track shows the opportunity of improvement The two subsystems vehicle and track are considered stand alone Diagnosis is not performed continuously but in periodically defined time schedules Not the interaction itself is considered but quantities which are assumed to affect the interaction between vehicle and track It would be perfect to have a permanent diagnosis of the interaction between vehicle and track. Seite

9 There are several possibilities to diagnose several aspects of the interaction permanently The SIEMENS Bogie Diagnostics System (SBDS) is a sensoric system for the identification of the behavior of the system bogie and the vehicle track interaction R = f (a x, a y, a z, ω x, ω y, ω y, n,...) State Predictions, Maintenance Instructions Digitizing Algorithms Statistics It would be perfect to have a permanent diagnosis of the interaction between vehicle and track. Approach: Bogie Diagnostics and Vehicle Track Interaction System Bogies with sensors which measure significant movement quantities and thus capture the impacts of the interaction between vehicle and track. With this Vehicle-Track-Interaction-System abnormal behavior is detected. Changes in the behavior of bogie components are detected as well. Main benefits: Condition-based maintenance of bogies becomes possible. Corrective maintenance measures become predictable. Components can be used for a longer period (utilization of the individual service life) Side Effect: Interaction-relevant condition of the driveway is recorded! Seite

10 The development of efficient diagnostics Systems is complex and challenging In the development of an effective diagnostics system a set of interdisciplinary competences are necessary: Development of rail-operation-resistent Sensors and Electronics Modern methods of signal processing and anomality/fault detection Knowledge of the system behavior of rail vehicles Knowledge of the operational necessities and technical possibilities for the optimization of maintenance processes Seite

13 5 Categories of Functions have to be distinguished Acceleration and rotational speed sensors let the bogie feel 3 levels of acceleration: Unsprung masses: The area of the wheelset including the axle bearing box as the contact to the rail is the area of highest impacts to any bogie (~100 g). Primary spring: The frame and all frame mounted parts still have high accelerations (~5 g). Secondary spring: The carbody has low accelerations (~2 g) Processing the measured data to messages (based on adjustable low/high levels) let the bogie talk. Diagnosis of Components Algorithms detect defects of components Examples: Axle Bearing Diagnostics, Wheel Flats, Polygonization of wheels,... Diagnosis of the System Behavior Algorithms analyze the dynamic behavior of the vehicle Examples: Bogie Finger Print, Early Instability Detection,... Prognostic Models The wear influencing and component damaging quantities are measured and with models the remaining service life are estimated. Examples: Brake Wear, Wheel Wear, Vehicle-Track-Interaction Diagnosis Accelerations in 3 Vehicle Levels (unsprung, primary spring, secondary spring level) are recorded and analyzed, high levels are transferred with GPS position to the landside Supervision Functions TSI / GOA4 / Gravel Impact Detection Seite

23 High Speed Train: The Vehicle Reaction on the Track changes Vehicle Reaction: Lateral Acceleration (1 year observation period) red means high lateral movement blue means stable running behavior It is obvious that certain track sections induce high lateral movements on the bogie Seite Dr. T. Moshammer / MO MLT BG EN SSV Mobility Division / Mainline Transport

24 What are the restrictions of the Vehicle-Track-Interaction Monitoring System? Yaw Damper, Wheel Profile, Wheel Guidance System Track Irregularities Conicities Restrictions: Unstable running behavior is not only dependent on the track geometry, it is also influenced from the wheel profile, the wheel guidance system and the yaw damper functionality Therefore additional bogie diagnostics is essential to separate: which reaction is coming from the worn bogie components Which reaction is coming from the track irregularities Different vehicles might show different reactions on certain track defects (when should track maintenance efforts be started?) The SIEMENS Vehicle-Track-Interaction Monitoring System is not able to measure lateral track defects or track profiles but it measures the reactions of the vehicle on such defects which is essential for a save operation Seite

25 Summary: Dr. Thomas Moshammer: Vehicle-Track-Interaction-System Summary SIEMENS has developed a Bogie Diagnostics System in order to analyze the behavior of the bogie over its lifetime in order to optimize bogie maintenance efforts. The same System is used to analyze the vehicle track interaction. Some characteristic parameters of the track such as longitudinal track levels are determined. In addition track faults e.g. corrugations are discovered. The difference of the vehicle track interaction system from track recording cars is that the vehicle reactions induced by the track are measured and rated. Analyzing the vehicle reactions over time in combination with the exact track position might lead to track maintenance works where the vehicle reactions are unfavourable (high forces and accelerations, instabilities, corrugations, worn switches). The main goal of the vehicle-track-interaction monitoring system is not to replace track recording cars but to give additional information about track sections where unfavourable vehicle reactions occur and thus might help to optimize track maintenance efforts.
