FIELD: railway transport.
SUBSTANCE: this invention covers rail voltage monitoring system. This system includes a sensor unit which additionally includes a sensor to be installed directly on a rail length. The proper sensor includes a flat metal pad and at least one or more sensors installed at one side of such pad. Usually, the sensors are strain gages installed on the pad in a specific pre-set configuration. At least one data collection module is electrically connected to the sensor, and a data processing module receives and processes data collected by data collection module.
EFFECT: high measuring accuracy of rail operational characteristics.
