Enhancing Railcar Safety and Longevity with Advanced Impact Analytics: The RailBlazer Advantage
Efficient railcar operations hinge on precise health monitoring, particularly during loading/unloading processes and train makeup coupling procedures in classification yards. Impact force measurements, particularly during coupling operations, provide critical insights into stress distributions across railcar structures and components. According to the FRA’s Impact Performance of Draft Gears study, soft draft gears – which degrade over time – permit greater…
