Definitions

  • the present invention provides an apparatus for monitoring railway track.
  • the present invention further provides a method for monitoring railway track.
  • Rail track maintenance is a critical part of maintaining traffic density and speed in the rail network. Unforeseen track maintenance, frequent track maintenance or incorrect track maintenance can all conspire to reduce safety and capacity of the network, and can all be caused by a lack of in-depth information about key parameters describing the state of a piece of track. Information that drives track maintenance operations typically comes from special measurement trains. These are expensive pieces of equipment that measure, amongst other parameters, track geometry. They run at limited speeds and follow individually defined routes, so inevitably disrupt passenger services. The information from the measurement train is generally interpreted very strictly, driving maintenance operations that are chosen to correct geometry defects, but that might not correct long term underlying faults that reduce stability of the track or track support.
  • track stiffness This is the resilience of the track as a train passes over it, and typically results in a vertical movement of the track of 2-3mm as a train passes over the track. This resilience determines how much energy is put pack into the train wheel, which affects wheel wear, and how much noise is dissipated into the ground, which affects ballast stability and local populations living near the track. Low track stiffness can also contribute to rail breaks. Track stiffness is, therefore, an important track property and is usually measured by pushing a mass down onto the track and measuring the deflection, which is a very time-consuming test, or can be measured by observing track movement from trackside equipment.

  • the apparatus and method of the preferred embodiments of the present invention are predicated on the finding by the present inventors that the railway track exhibits enhanced deflection between railway track sleepers.
  • the sleepers are arranged periodically along the track, at accurately spaced locations.
  • the vibration exhibited by the axle can be measured and analysed to determine a corresponding periodicity resulting from the vibration sensor passing regularly and intermittently over track portions that are between sleepers and exhibit enhanced deflection as compared to track mounted above sleepers.
  • This invention solves this problem of accurate, efficient and effective measurement of track condition, in particular track stiffness, by measuring sleeper deflection from equipment mounted on trains in service, exploiting the periodicity of sleepers.
  • the measurement and analysis may also accommodate the different axle loads on a passenger train corresponding to trailer/motorised axles and heavier or lighter coach bodies.
  • the processor is provided in a data server and analytics engine, which receives vibration data from trains and processes the data to extract track stiffness information.
  • the invention is put into practice using a fleet of instrumented trains, with axle box vibration monitors and the facility to apply location and timestamp data before the vibration data is transmitted from the train.
  • the preferred embodiments of the present invention utilise vibration energy harvester powered wireless sensor nodes (WSNs), fitted to all axle ends of the train.
  • the wireless sensor nodes can typically be configured to measure, in addition to other parameters, the component of vibration generated by sleeper periodicity, since the rail bends between each sleeper as a result of the mass of the passing train urging the track downwardly as a result of the track having freedom of vertical movement between adjacent sleepers.
  • the bending deflection of the rail between each sleeper depends partly on track stiffness, and since this is the only parameter that varies during the course of a journey, monitoring the variation of this rail deflection, and aggregating the information across all sensors, which can improve the signal-to-noise ratio and location accuracy, can provides a measure of track stiffness across the track network.

  • the present invention employs the innovation of using a component of vibration generated in the wheel-rail interaction that is sensitive to track stiffness, and that can be extracted from noise caused by wheel and track condition. Tracking the periodic vibration provides additional sensitivity and specificity, and has not previously been disclosed as a method for measuring track stiffness. Other known methods for measuring track stiffness rely on individual, lengthy direct measurement that require specific equipment.
  • the preferred embodiments of the present invention provides a particular advantage by using signal processing using measurement of real time vibration data which is coherent with sleeper spacing vibration on in-service trains.
  • historical data can be analysed and provided to generate a reference signal for comparison with each cycle of vibration, for example by multiplying the reference with the signal measured.

  • a technique similar to phase sensitive detection may be used, in which historical vibration data can be examined to generate a reference vibration, for example an in-phase sine wave, for comparison with the speed/sleeper vibration component at each sleeper location, thus providing a measure of individual sleeper support.
