| Abstract | Development of modern railways largely depends on the control of intactness of the wheel pairs and rails. It is impossible to ensure safety and increase the speed of railway traffic without providing such control. Detection of the wheel pairs’ and rails’ wear and damage is one of the key problems of railway science. Many scientific works are accomplished and lot of devices are elaborated in this field, but the mentioned problem still remains urgent. In order to increase the traffic safety, the group of authors has proposed a constructional scheme of the mobile device for detection of wheel pairs’ and rails’ wear and damage, which will have increased accuracy of measurement. Increasing of accuracy of measurement is carried out on the basis of development of mathematical model, which provides the realization of equal wear of wheel pairs’ as well as ones no equal wear. By installation of the proposed device on each wheel pair of each railcar of the rolling stock, the automatic control of wheel pairs’ and rails’ condition will be achieved. Namely: -Detection of the worn out wheel pair and determination of wear degree; -Detection of the damaged wheel pair; -Identification of the worn out or damaged wheel pair. Besides, on the basis of elaborated mathematical model: -Detection of the worn out rail; -Detection of the damaged rail; -Identification of location of the worn out or damaged rail. The obtained information will be constantly connected to the locomotive computer system. Therefore, for checking rolling stocks, there will no longer be need to build expensive stationary systems, to move trains great distances for their inspection and in the result, the time lost for stoppage will be saved. So, with the help of proposed mobile device, the traffic safety increases and at the same time expenses for detection of wheel pairs’ wear and damage decrease, which results in significant economic effect. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
