The study compares the accuracy of contact-based profilometers, namely, MiniProf and non-contact laser scanners for capturing wheel and rail profiles in vehicle-track interaction. While contact-based profilometers provide highly accurate measurements, they require trains to stop. Laser scanners, though less precise and reliable, can continuously gather profiles over a short period. The simulation results showed satisfactory agreement between laser-scanned and MiniProf profiles for the examined Y/Q ratios. Further research on processing techniques for raw laser scanner data could potentially enhance the usability of laser-scanned profiles for more in-depth contact analysis.

摘要

The study compares the accuracy of contact-based profilometers, namely, MiniProf and non-contact laser scanners for capturing wheel and rail profiles in vehicle-track interaction. While contact-based profilometers provide highly accurate measurements, they require trains to stop. Laser scanners, though less precise and reliable, can continuously gather profiles over a short period. The simulation results showed satisfactory agreement between laser-scanned and MiniProf profiles for the examined Y/Q ratios. Further research on processing techniques for raw laser scanner data could potentially enhance the usability of laser-scanned profiles for more in-depth contact analysis.
