Derailment Detection Devices
This project envisages development of On-Board equipment for sensing derailment possibilities of rolling stock. Development includes appropriate instrumentation and signal processing strategy and its integration with the existing brake mechanism for minimizing losses due to dragging of derailed vehicle. Presently there is no instrumentation on Indian Railways for detecting derailment possibilities.
Rail Flaw Detection Instrumentation
Different types of rail flaws include: Transverse defect in railhead, Gauge face corner defect, Rail weld defect (AT weld), Bolt hole defect, Piping defect, Half moon cracks at the weld etc. It is evident that rail flaw detection instrumentation would require multiple probing activities.
