Abstract

The paper presents a measurement setup capable of collecting wheel/rail contact noise and vibration signals from a passenger train. A data analysis method based on machine learning is developed for detecting events from the acquired data and classifying them according to relevant railway track components and noise phenomena. A classification rate higher than 84 % is achieved.
