Presentation title:
Application of way-side detector-data in maintenance
Summary:
arious types ofway-side detector-systems has been installed by the Infrastructure Managers to control usage (road pricing) or to reduce or prevent damage to infrastructure systems and components. Generally the Infrastructure Managers are more than willing to grant data-access to operators, owners or train maintainers. DSB has systematically implemented the use of ALC/WILD-data (Axle Load Checkpoint/Wheel Impact Load Detection) in wheel maintenance, HABD/HWD-data (Hot Axle Box Detection/Hot Wheel Detection) in wheel-bearing and brake surveillance. The analysis of these data has enabled DSB to set up various warnings, which has drastically reduced work-shop activities, reduced cost and prevented break-downs.
