Abstract
The present invention provides a method for determining an element characteristic of at least one railroad element, comprising the steps of: providing a motion sensor (2) on the at least one railroad element (6); collecting motion data provided by the motion sensor (2), wherein the motion data is representing a motion characteristic of the railroad element (6) different from the element characteristic; determining the element characteristic on the basis of the motion data.
Claims8
Method for determining an element characteristic of a railroad element, comprising the steps of:
- providing a motion sensor on the railroad element;
- collecting motion data provided by the motion sensor, wherein the motion data is representing a motion characteristic of the railroad element different from the element characteristic;
- determining the element characteristic on the basis of the motion data, wherein the motion sensor provides motion data from a plurality of motion detectors of the motion sensor;
- wherein all motion detectors provide motion data representing a same motion characteristic, in particular acceleration or time dependent acceleration;
- and
- wherein at least one of the motion detectors has a different measuring range and/or a different resolution from another one of the motion detectors.
