With an acoustic software solution for recording noise emissions in accordance with ISO 3095 and measuring inside railbound vehicle noise in accordance with ISO 3381, imc is providing a test solutions that covers all important data analyses.
This software works together with the universal imc hardware platform, which records hundreds of measurement channels decentrally, analog, wireless (telemetry), synchronized and via the vehicle's digital bus systems, such as MVB. The software in combination with the robust measurement hardware provides real-time results and supports the user in creating analyses and reports.
In addition to analyzing noise emissions, imc Test & Measurement offers comprehensive test solutions for acoustic measurements, but also for safety and reliability measurements as well as performance and service life tests on rail vehicles.
In general, there are a number of challenges for testing rail-bound vehicles to be solved:
- Measure temperatures, forces, torques, and vibrations in a decentralized, distributed, and synchronized manner. Measurement solutions include wireless (telemetry) and wired sensors.
- Brakes are important safety elements in vehicles to reduce speed and stop the vehicle. This is usually done by converting kinetic energy into thermal energy. It is therefore necessary to check the function of the brakes as a stopping distance measurement, often in conjunction with the brake disc temperature.
- In order to ensure safe and reliable operation of the bogies, regular maintenance and, in particular, testing on test benches with electric drives is required.
- Derailment safety tests, weighing and twisting test bench.
For all of these, imc, as a part of Axiometrix Solutions, combines more than twenty years of expertise in the field of measurement technology for the railway industry.
