Platform of Attitude Monitoring for Freight High Speed Trains

Abstract

For freight high speed railways with increasing speed up to 250 km/h, it is vital to monitor the running attitude of the high-speed railways in real time. By reviewing and analyzing the existing train attitude detection technologies at home and abroad, this paper presents a novel platform of attitude monitoring for freight high speed trains. We take the inertial navigation unit as the core unit, and develop a platform system to detect the running attitude detection straightforwardly. Various tests are implemented in the laboratory to validate the platform, demonstrating the superiorities and potentialities in railway applications.
