MÁV Co. Transport Safety Project(KözOP)Video Track Inspection System (VPR)Installed Vehicle Diagnostic equipment Tamás Both commissioned head of department 7th February 2013
Elements of the present track inspection system • Inspection on foot • inspection on foot by patrolmen • Inspection on foot by track-master, chief track-master, section engineer • Examinations and measurement in turnouts • Line inspection on railway vehicles • Inspection of engineering structures (bridges, culverts, tunnels, etc.) • Track geometrical measurements • Ultrasonic rail inspection • Clearance gauge measurements and examinations
Main features of video track inspection system(VPR) • Able to execute the examinations without disturbing the traffic till the speed of 120 km/h with self-propelled diesel vehicle • Measurement by non-contact method, with laser optic principle, on the base of video records • Able to take clear pictures by digital high-speed and low-noise cameras • Minimum examination width counted from the track axis 1,75-1,75 m • Its two main functions: recording the structural elements of the railway track and panoramic record • Able to examine and automatically evaluate 40 - 45 measuring parameters • Able to supply local fault list • Makes a statistical list for a chosen measuring length
Aim of VPR • Decreasing of the risk of transport safety and work safety • Updating of track inspection activity, track inspection system and procedures, • Increasing the objectivity of track inspection examinations, • Accurate and traceable documentation of the track state and its change, • Accurate identification of the structural elements of te railway track,
Advantages of VPR • State of the art technology • Decreases the subjectivity of track inspection • Suitable for objective qualification of the structural state • Early recognition of rail faults with cracks (Head Check) • Suitable for objective examination of high-speed lines • Live-labour and cost-efficient solution • Risks of traffic safety and work safety decrease • Enables the accurate documentation of track state and its change, the more efficient designing of elimination of faults and disturbances • Ensures the classification of local faults, and supplies the fault list depending on the speed and size-limit category
Realisation of VPR VPR Recording Cars and measuring systems 1.) Vehicle_1 VPR-1 1.) Vehicle_2 VPR-2 1.) Vehicle_3 VPR-3
Realisation of VPR • Incorporation 3 pcs VPR recording cars into system • Within the frames of KÖZOP supporting contract: • Procurement of 3 pcs VPR vehicles • Procurement of 3 pcs VPR measuring systems • Tender calling for public procurement of negotiation • Testing, training of the structural elements of MÁV Co’s lines • Further development of VPR measuring system and evaluation software • Modification of track inspection regulation (D5), approval by the authority • Incorporation VPR into system
Characteristics of VPR measuring system • 3 pcs VPR measuring systems • Contact free examination • Its external measuring boxes (beams) are located inside the railway clearance gauge. • It can examine and supply measuring data at least at 120 km/h speed range • Each record is synchronised with the railway chainage • Applies the MÁV database • Recording the structural elements of the railway track • Panoramic record • Determination of the faults of the structural elements • Office evaluating and processing system
Characteristics of VPR vehicle • 3 db diesel railcars transformed according to the requirements of VPR recording car • serves as accommodation for VPR measuring system and staff • Ensures connecting points for mounting the VPR measuring system • With two engine driver’s cabins • 120 km/h allowed and measuring speed • Ensures the accommodation of 6 persons • Air-conditioned • Measuring room, sleeping compartments, dining room, lavatory, technical rooms • Supplying the electric energy necessary for the operation of VPR measuring system
Installed vehicle dynamic equipment • Hazard point • Sensor • Hot bearing (vehicles with hot box) • Hot bearing signal • Jammed, stickked brakes (braked wheels) • Flat wheel • Dynamic wheel load meter and wheel flat detector • Overloaded vehicles • Moved consignment, uneven consignment distribution • Broken axles, body-springs • Over-reaching the loading gauge • Loading gauge checker • Wheels under tolerances • Wheel flange checker • Faulty pantograph • Pantograph detector • Contact pressure (between pantograph and contact wire)
Accident occurred due to hot bearing in Italy • June 29th 2009 23:48 Viareggio (IT): • 32 victims, 267 seriously injured people • Due to the breaking of an axle pivot the first 7 wagons of the freight train consists of 14 wagons derailed, from these 5 overturned, one tank ripped, gas (butane) spread, then blowup. • Victims emerged from the population, rescue teams found 7 victims under the collapsed houses.

Necessity and aim of dynamic wheel-load measurement • Development of such a diagnostic equipment which registers and filters out the running of vehicles dangerous from transport safety aspect. • Operation of the system enhances the safety of railway transport, • Decreases significantly the maintenance costs of the railway network and accident damage restoration costs originating from the technical state of the vehicles, or improper loading. • Gives information concerning the actual mass of the coach and train-set which is a relevant element of the statement of network access fee (track access fee).
