Abstract
<p>This paper presents the results of a continuous monitoring system placed on the Metro line in Vienna, Austria, aimed at assessing the long-term behaviour of massive train wheels. Until today, conventional resilient wheels are used on Viennese metro trains. However, it is planned to substitute this type of wheels with massive wheels.</p><p>Since 2016 three train sets were therefore equipped with massive wheels and let circulate in the underground railway network under trial runs. Nine measuring systems were installed within the metro network in the form of monitoring stations to continuously record data during these train passages. Selected indicators are permanently measured, post-processed and transmitted in real time to a web-interface accessible. On the basis of approximately 2,000 daily recorded trains, statistical analysis has been performed, thus providing information on train condition and on the impact of massive wheels.</p>
