CA 2373127

For monitoring railway tracks on a frequent basis, instrumentation packages are installed in service vehicles (18), for example in passenger carriages. The instrumentation package (16) comprises sensors (35, 36, 42) mounted on a bogie (24) of the vehicle (18), which provide data to a computer (40). The computer (40) processes the data to characterise the track quality, and stores the results tagged with positional information. At intervals these stored results are automatically transferred by radio to a remote base station (12). An operator at the base station can monitor the track quality daily, and hence advise on cost-effective maintenance schedules.

L'invention concerne des ensembles d'instruments qui, pour contrôler régulièrement les voies ferrées, sont installés sur des véhicules de service (18), par exemple à bord des wagons de passagers. Le type d'ensemble d'instruments considéré (16) comprend des capteurs (35, 36, 42) montés sur un bogie (24) du véhicule (18), fournissant des données à un ordinateur (40), lequel traite les données pour évaluer la qualité de la voie ferrée, et enregistre les données en les associant à une information de position. A intervalles déterminés, les résultats enregistrés sont automatiquement transférés par radiocommunication à une station de base distante (12). A cette station, un opérateur peut contrôler quotidiennement la qualité de la voie ferrée et recommander en conséquence l'établissement d'un calendrier de maintenance approprié.
