Analysis of turnout angle measurement set for railway vehicle

The institute of railway vehicles and materials handling technology deals in various projects with the automation of rail transport. In the current project Galileo, the test vehicle ¿IFS Erprobungsträger¿ was equipped with a new measurement set. This measurement must be put into operation and calibrated. This work is to make a contribution to existing measurement to investigate their suitability. For this purpose, the candidate should make himself familiar with the measurement equipment and the analyze-software Matlab/Simulink. Following up on work of Andreas Schuler in the calibration process described there are applied new data of the measurement campaign in KW50/2012. In particular the measurement setup, for measuring the bogie angle and the secondary spring displacement measurement to be examined on their operating capability. Following work packages has to be done:

• Practice in Matlab/Simulink.
• Introduction in rail vehicle measurement.
• Work over "Studienarbeit Andreas Schuler".
• Preparation of measurement channels, list of needed measurement channels and properties.
• Analyzing of measurement data of test runs in KW50/2012.
• Deep analysis of direction measurement and calculation.
