Abstract
There is disclosed a radar system (100) for determining a status of at least one wheel (110) of a train, comprising at least one radar unit (120) arranged on the train. The radar unit comprises an emitter (130) configured to emit radio waves (105) towards the at least one wheel and a detector (140), configured to detect at least a portion of the radio waves reflected from the at least one wheel and generate detector data. The radar system is configured to determine a wheel status at least partially based on the generated detector data.

A radar system for determining a status of at least one wheel of a train, the radar system comprising:
- at least one radar unit arranged on the train, comprising:
- an emitter configured to emit radio waves towards the at least one wheel, and
- a detector, configured to detect at least a portion of the radio waves reflected from the at least one wheel and generate detector data,
- wherein the radar system is configured to determine a wheel status at least partially based on the generated detector data.
A method for determining a status of at least one wheel of a train using a radar system, wherein the radar system comprises at least one radar unit, having an emitter configured to emit radio waves and a detector configured to detect radio waves, arranged on the train, the method comprising:
- emitting radio waves towards at least one wheel, by the emitter,
- generating detector data based on detected radio waves, by the detector,
- determining a wheel status at least partially based on the detector data.
