Case Study
Case Study: Ride Comfort and Rough Rides
Modular solution enables permanent cost-effective solution for fleet wide deployments that can:
– quickly resolve underlying cause of rough rides.
Project Challenges
- Poor quality ride can be an indication of developing poor track geometry and/or developing wheelset faults.
- Ride is also dependent on suspension types and therefore varies between different classes on the same section of track.
- Staff do not report rides.
- Rough ride locations commonly lead to:
– temporary speed restrictions until a site visit has been made.
– train delays.
MoniRail Solution
- Modular solution enables permanent cost-effective solution for fleet wide deployments that can:
– quickly resolve underlying cause of rough rides. - Portable system also available for use in non-fitted vehicles or for more detailed investigations of specific carriages.
- Quick and easy to fit to both new and old rolling stock.
- Proven repeatable results:
– clearly shows differences between vehicles and vehicle classes.
– data can be converted into recognised ride indices for comparison.
– data can be provided in near real-time to enable quick and informed decision
making.
– can be combined with data from our track geometry measurement system to
identify root cause.
