Purpose
The DTK System is used for:
- Measuring the position of the current rail
- Recording the positions of shocks between current rail and current collector
- Analysing the current drain, recuperation and voltage (optionally)
- Measuring of the length of areas without current rail
Scope
- Measurement of driving speed
- Measurement of accelerations
- whole measurement data with synchronized video and audio files.
- salient waypoints can be inserted while the measurement
- optionally exact coordinates (if a sufficient number of satellites can be seen)
- DTK Software
- DTK investigation report
Benefits
- With the videos of the measurement you can see and analyze the interaction between current collector and conductor rail.
- With the measurement of current and voltage you can get the information at which point the interaction between current collector and conductor rail is disturbed.
- Based on the measurement results you can find easily the critical points and areas on the current rail.
- Found problems can be solved and with the knowledge of the measurement the pairing of current collector and current rail can be improved.
- Mounting the system takes 3-6 hours, depending on the vehicle type.
- The measurements are made under normal conditions and normal driving speed.
- The normal traffic is nearly not infliuenced by the measurement run.
- The measurement values are highly reliable:
- The values are detected full automatically, analyzed and saved.
- The failure possibilities of manual measurements are excluded
- While the measurement a high safety level is secured:
- The data transmission inside the vehicle is made via fibre optic cables.
-
- While the measurement a first impression about the height of the current rail can be given. The incoming measurement data are immediately analyzed and shown grafically on a PC-Monitor.
- The recording of the current collector video, which can be shown synchonous, allows a very clear documentation of the measurement.
- The selft developed software gives the user many possiblities to evaluate the measurement data very convenient.
Optionally
- the profile of the current rail (wear) and the horizontal distance between current rail and rail can be measured.
- the current drain and voltage can be measured.
- the contact resistance between current rail and collector can be measured.
- the current collector can be analyzed.
- the track geometry and rail profile can be measured.
- exact coordinates via GPS or dGPS (if a sufficient number of satellites can be seen)
- software training for the handling of our software
DTK Software
The developed software provides convenient tools for the analysis of the measurement data
- All measurement data are shown as diagrams
- The measured parameter can be shown separate or together
- The scale for every value can be adjusted and every are can be zoomed in to analyse a short area
- Limits can be shown for every parameter to enable the user to find already on the diagram the exceedings
- Salient waypoints can already be inserted while the measurement so that the failures found while the measurement can be found very easy while analyzing the measurement data
- The numerous evaluation tools enable the user also to give information about complex problems.
DTK Software analysis
- Areas with a to high or to low height of the current rail
- Shocks between current rail and collector show
- Ramps
- Position of construction parts
