IN-MOTION RAIL SCALES AS A COMPONENT OF THE RAILWAY BRIDGE DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM

The paper presents the Adaptronica company experience in the field of the design, execution and testing of in-motion rail scales. The method of identification of loads applied in these scales is based on the measurement of rail deformations caused by passing trains. The results from experimental and simulation research on computerized railway scales are presented. The load identification algorithm and its practical implementation are shown. The implementation of the system, made on the basis of the device, is described.
