Abstract

To enhance the safety and reliability of railway transportation, it is one of the most important tasks to check the track condition frequently and accurately. This paper describes a track condition monitoring technique using car-body motions. In an inverse problem to estimate track geometry in longitudinal level from vertical car-body acceleration and pitching rate measured by in-service vehicle, dynamic programming filter and Kalman filter were applied. Study results confirmed that proposed solutions can be used to estimate track geometry in level with desired precision.
