Signal Processing Techniques from Accelerometers on Railway Transport Based on the Wavelet Transform

Railway transport safety is directly connected with the condition of railway tracks and also the condition of railway wheels’ surface. One of the main reasons for abnormal situations on railways are various defects such as irregularities of a railway track. Thus, we need to estimate the length of short and impulse irregularities. It is also important to carry out joint analysis of vibration acceleration signals recorded by accelerometers in order to study types and sizes of railway track irregularities.
