  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING BRAKE SYSTEMS ON RAILWAY ASSETS
    Publication number: 20240010181
    Abstract: Systems for monitoring brake systems on railway assets include a load measuring device. The load measuring device includes an instrumented coupling configured to be connected to the rigging of a brake system of the railway asset; and to an underframe of the railway asset. The load measuring device also includes a data collection unit configured to process an output of a sensor of the instrumented coupling and, based on the sensor output, determine the force being transmitted between the brake rigging and the underframe.
    Type: Application
