Item type:Publication, Detection of Isolated Track Defects Using Axle Box Acceleration from Multibody Simulation and Recurrent Neural Network(2026-01-23) ;Plodphai, Kritat ;Petcharat, Thitiwut; Railway track inspection is typically conducted cyclically, which is slow, budget-intensive, and time-consuming, as it can only be performed during non-service periods when trains are not in operation. Currently, there are emerging concepts and research studies utilizing railway defect detection through acceleration measurements from axle box mounted on service trains, as this approach offers easier implementation, reduced costs, and time efficiency compared to conventional methods. However, the diagnostic process remains challenging due to the high complexity and large volume of data involved. This research presents a method for applying Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) that works with time-series data in diagnosing railway defects by classifying three specific types of isolated defects: squats and corrugation. The training samples for the neural network were derived from axle box acceleration data obtained through multibody simulation analysis that modeled various railway conditions, speeds, and defect characteristics. A total of 360 samples from the multibody model were used for training, validation, and testing. The study results showed that the Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) achieved an average defects classification accuracy of 91.67%. Furthermore, the study findings revealed that the developed RNN model can accurately predict the location and classify defects, with particularly high accuracy in predicting the location and defects caused by long-pitch corrugation. The study concluded that the developed RNN model can efficiently learn and classify defects from axle box acceleration data obtained from multibody simulation. This approach can be applied as a guideline for railway damage diagnosis in future maintenance applications. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Application of Multibody Dynamics Simulation in Approximation of Rail Vehicle Dynamic Envelope(2023-01-01); ;Petcharat, Thitiwut ;Kim, Ki DuThe master plan for Thailand's Eastern High-Speed Rail Project calls for the Airport Rail Link to be shared with high-speed trains. To ensure the safety of mixed operations, it is imperative to assess loading and structural gauges. This study determined the dynamic envelopes of rail vehicles using multibody dynamics modeling, focusing on three rolling stock models-Siemens Desiro UK Class 360/2 EMU, CRH2C EMU, and Shinkansen Series 300 High-Speed EMU-across a spectrum of operating conditions. Factors such as train mass, suspension characteristics, running speed, wheel wear, track geometry, and track irregularities were incorporated as dynamic simulation parameters. The greatest vehicle movement occurred along the westbound curve path, particularly at the transition between the 996-meter-radius curve to the 180-meter-radius curve. The Shinkansen Series 300 exhibited the greatest lateral and vertical maneuverability. Both the CRH2C EMU and Shinkansen 300 Series trains exceeded the structural envelope limitations of the Airport Rail Link.
