Automatic Brake Inspection System

The rail wheel and in particular the brake and its interaction with the wheel represent a decisive factor in the sphere of safety and quality of railway transport. There is the necessity to systematically check the decisive risk factors and in particular the brake status. The wayside measurement system is designed to inspect the brake shoes, brake pads and brake disks at track speeds. This system uses a multi-camera high-speed imaging unit to take multiple images for inspection and measurement.
