The datalogger software developed to analyse the characteristics of railway superstructure

Original language description

It is a software for evaluation of basic characteristics of railway superstructure measured on the 12-channel datalogger created by the Institute (functional sample FV_2023_2). The measured data in this datalogger are stored during the measurement on a built-in SD card with a choice of two formats - TXT and EDF. The developed software provides the possibility of wireless download via Wifi network to any computer with subsequent processing and analysis. In the basic version, it involves cutting and filtering of measured data and analysis in time-frequency planes. The software allows the gradual addition of further analysis modules. The software also provides the possibility of setting up a measurement project, i.e. setting the sampling frequency, selecting the number and types of sensors, setting the type of triggering, etc. The project parameters set in this way can again be sent via wifi to the datalogger.

Software_2023_2

Technical parameters

It is an evaluation software specially designed for the datalogger created at the institute (functional sample FV_2023_2). The software enables basic analysis of measured data taken by this device on the railway superstructure and its surroundings. At the same time, the software can be supplemented with other necessary evaluation methods in the form of built-in modules. It should be noted that the problem orientation of the software is directed to the area of detection of harmful phenomena in the track (deteriorating conditions of the superstructure due to rail defects, defects in the area of fasteners, sleepers, or the track bed), but also to the area of train set condition assessment. The software also allows the analysis of data from other measuring systems.

Economical parameters

It is a user-friendly and inexpensive rail-oriented evaluation software and measurement datalogger developed at the Institute of Railway Structures and Buildings. It provides the option of evaluating from one to twelve sensors located on the railway superstructure to evaluate short-term dynamic effects acting on the railway structure from passing trainsets. The software is a very low-cost solution that can be used for measurements in the laboratory and in the field for research and teaching. The economic benefits cannot be quantified at present. However, it is an inexpensive and sufficient solution for many technical tasks, which will find application especially for the needs of teaching professional subjects. Custom analysis methods and procedures can be applied to the software, which is usually not possible in commercial products.
