System and method for determining a weight status of a railway vehicle

A system for determining a weight status of a railway vehicle, the system comprising:

• at least one emitter configured to emit radio waves,
• a first detector arranged on the railway vehicle, configured to detect radio waves and generate a first distance data set,
• a second detector arranged on the railway vehicle, configured to detect radio waves and generate a second distance data set,
• a third detector arranged on the railway vehicle, configured to detect radio waves and generate a third distance data set,
• a fourth detector arranged on the railway vehicle, configured to detect radio waves and generate a fourth distance data set,
• wherein the first, second, third and fourth distance data set indicate a displacement of the railway vehicle relative at least one of the rails, the railroad and the ground, and wherein the first, second, third and fourth detector are arranged at different locations on the railway vehicle,
• wherein the railway vehicle comprises
• a first bogje comprising a first set of wheels, wherein the first detector is arranged on the first bogie at a first position, and the second detector is arranged on the first bogie at a second position different from the first position, and
• a second bogie comprising a second set of wheels, wherein the third detector is arranged on the second bogie at a third position, and the fourth detector is arranged on the second bogie at a fourth position different from the third position, and
• a processing unit configured to receive the first, second, third and fourth distance data set, and determine a weight status of the railway vehicle based at least on the first, second, third and fourth distance data set.
