Abstract

The article presents the problematic aspects of detection of flat places on tram wheels using time-frequency analysis of acoustic signals. A number of pass-by tests were conducted during real life exploitation. The objects of research are light rail vehicles exploited in Poznan. Some of them were characterized by flat places on tram wheels. The research aimed to apply the wrought method for detection of flat places on tram wheels.
