System for monitoring the angle-of-attack of the wheelsets of a railway vehicle moving along a track section. The apparatus includes a rangefinder to repeatedly measure at known intervals the instanteous distance between a reference point and successive registering points on a face plate surface of a wheel of a passing wheelset. A detector generates a signal representative of the velocity of the wheel passing along the reference point. A computer receives the output signals generated by the velocity sensor and of the rangefinder to compute the angle-of-attack of each wheelset.

La présente invention a pour objet un système pour la surveillance de l'angle d'attaque des trains de roues d'un véhicule ferroviaire en déplacement sur une section de voie ferrée. Le système en question comporte un distancemètre qui mesure itérativement et à intervalles réguliers la distance ponctuelle entre un point de référence et une série de points enregistreurs successifs à la surface d'une plaque fixée sur une roue au passage d'un train de roues. Un capteur produit un signal représentatif de la vélocité de la roue au moment de son passage sur le point de référence. Les signaux de sortie produits par le capteur de vélocité et le distancemètre sont transmis à un ordinateur qui calcule l'angle d'attaque de chaque train de roues.
