Description
The system checks the flat wheels of train and impact load of the each
wheel on rails during running condition. And the speed limit of the
system is 30 Kmph to 160 Kmph and calculates maximum and average
load on each wheel. The train report is published in the web after 3
minutes train crossing the system. Report is transferred to the server by
using the wireless modem [data card]. Goal of the system is to prevent
the accident and the railway track safety. The system running time is
24/7.
