Abstract: A device (9) for determining a speed of a rail-based vehicle with wheels on a predetermined network of routes includes an interface (8) for collecting one-dimensional or multi-dimensional vibration data (5) corresponding to vibrations of at least one wheel acting on the rail-based vehicle as an acceleration of the rail-based vehicle. The vibrations are detectable using at least one wireless sensor (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) arranged proximate the at least one wheel. A learning module is configured to apply a trained machine-learned model to the vibration data to determine a ground speed. The trained machine-learned model is trained based on a distance traveled and a ground truth speed (17) and a corresponding portion of the vibration data (5).

Abstract: A device (9, 9a) for estimating a current wheel diameter of a wheel of a rail-based vehicle on a predetermined network of routes includes an interface (8) for collecting vibration data (5) of at least one wheel acting on the rail-based vehicle as an acceleration of the rail-based vehicle. The vibrations detectable using at least one wireless sensor (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) arranged proximate the at least one wheel. A computing unit is configured for generating a predicted speed on the basis of the vibration data (5). A comparator unit is configured for estimating a wheel diameter based on differences between the predicted speed and an identified, corresponding ground truth speed (17).
