  • Abstract
    An overview is given of the technology and the performance of “Train Conformity Check System”. The system provides a modular set of defect detection functions for rail vehicles, including the detection of three-dimensional profile limits violations and of overheated components. Other available defect detection systems can be integrated to identify and arrest trains with hazardous defects, to support rolling stock maintenance planning and to increase railway lines availability.
