The identification of instability problems in freight trains circulation such as unbalanced
loads is of particular importance for railways management companies and operators. The …

In the practical application of the Bridge Weigh-In-Motion (BWIM) methods, the position of
the wheels or axles during the passage of a vehicle is a prerequisite in most cases. To avoid …

The fast, convenient, and accurate determination of railroad cars' load mass is critical to
ensure safety and allow asset counting in railway infrastructure. In this paper, we propose a …

Train axle load measurements performed between 2012 and 2019 at 87 locations in the
Dutch railway network are used to evaluate fatigue of railway bridges. The theoretical fatigue …

Abstract Imprecise Structural Reliability Analysis (ISRA) is a novel and promising field in
structural reliability. This work develops and introduces a framework for ISRA applied to …

This study presents correction factors for the Norwegian fatigue load model for railway
bridges. The fundamental idea of a correction factor is to ensure that the load model induces …

As infrastructure ages, the need for efficient monitoring methods becomes increasingly
critical. Bridge Weigh-In-Motion (BWIM) systems are crucial for cost-effective determination …

The estimation of trains weight could be useful under certain circumstances. For instance, in
the field of structural health monitoring, some considerations can be derived from the …

Rising maintenance costs of ageing infrastructure necessitate innovative monitoring
techniques. This paper presents a new approach for axle detection, enabling real-time …

The ever-increasing demand for railway freight transportation necessitates improved
operational efficiency and safety. However, underloading and overloading of wagons pose …
