Patent

CA 2097381

A monitor to diagnose wheel assemblies of passing railroad trains is provided herein. The monitor includes a cavity in, and parallel to, a measurement tie, or in a hollow railroad tie. The cavity houses infrared deflection units and at least one infrared detector which make it possible to monitor all heat sources present in the vicinity of the wheel assembly and the undercarriage of the train car while offering maximum protection against mechanical and electrical factors. The wheel pressure and accelerator pickups provided with the monitor allow accurate determination of the values needed to normalize the infrared test results, e.g., wheel position, wheel weight and tread conditions.
