Investigation on the reliability of axle-box failure detectors in Lithuanian railways

Abstract

Detectors (HABD) system of rolling stock used in Lithuanian Railways has been assessed and its layout in the railway network has been evaluated. Theoretical and experimental studies of the determination of the temperature of the axle boxes of the rolling stock were performed. The variation of the temperature of the axle boxes of the rolling stock in the real conditions was investigated. Estimation of the accuracy of the HABD devices is based on the obtained research data. Final conclusions and improvement of the algorithm of the axle boxes heating detection of the HABD are given.
