  • Patent number: 9581487
    Abstract: Transport rail system capable of detecting a weight of a rail vehicle, includes one or more rails, and one or more sensors for measuring a magnetic property. At least one of the sensors is adapted to measure a change of a magnetic property in order to determine a weight bearing on one or more of the rails, the change of the magnetic property being caused by stress exerted on the rail by the weight, and one or more of the sensors are adapted to measure the change of a magnetic property of the rail itself and/or that one or more of the sensors are adapted to measure the change of a magnetic property of a supporting structure of the rail.

  • Publication number: 20160221591
    Abstract: A method for generating a measurement result from sensor signals generated by at least one sensor at a rail for a rail vehicle comprising: providing at least one sensor to generate at least one sensor signal, two or more data points of each sensor signal being from a same event selected from a train-event, a car-event, or a wheel event, said at least one sensor to measure a physical property of the rail, and comprising a transmitter to transmit generated sensor signals to a data management arrangement comprising, a receiver, a processor, and a memory; receiving said sensor signals; storing said sensor signals in the memory; evaluating by said processor at least two data points from at least one stored sensor signal; and generating by said processor a measurement result based on said evaluation. A data acquisition and management system is also described.
