Rail Vehicle Performance Monitor for Acceleration, Velocity and Distance (Controleur d'Acceleration, de Vitesse et de Distance des Vehicules sur Rails),
Abstract
A measuring technique for velocity, acceleration and distance of rail vehicles is discussed. Velocity and distance are derived directly from an optical digitally encoded sensor. A low noise differentiation method allows very small accelerations of rail vehicles to be obtained from the velocity signal. Description and design details are given of the major circuit functions.
