METHOD AND SYSTEM OF DIAGNOSTICS AND REMOTE MONITORING OF RAILWAY OVERHEAD CONTACT SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC B60M1/12 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to remote measuring systems to be used for monitoring railway transport overhead contact systems. Proposed method comprises acquisition and transmission of data on health of contact system health, as well as its estimation. Transducers incorporated with appropriate units register acoustic and vibration characteristics, magnetic field and contact system element temperature variations to transmit obtained data to data concentrators. Remote diagnostics and monitoring system (RDMS) comprises data acquisition and transmission units located along the overhead contact system and made up of viroacoustics and vibrodiagnostics transducers, magnetic field and temperature transducers, as well as self-contained power supply, microprocessor device and device for radio communication between the unit and RDMS data concentrator.

EFFECT: higher safety of railway traffic.
