| Abstract: |
The UK rail network is subject to costly disruption due to the operational effects of adhesion variation between the wheel and rail. Causes of this are often environmental introduction of contaminants that require a wide‐scale approach to risk mitigation such as defensive driving or rail‐head maintenance. It remains an open problem to monitor the real‐time status of the network to optimise resources and approaches in response to adhesion problems. This article presents an on‐vehicle monitoring method designed to estimate the coefficient of friction by processing data from on‐board sensors of typical rail passenger vehicles. This approach uses a multi‐body physics analysis of a target vehicle to create estimators for both creep force and creep, allowing a curve fitting approach to estimate the coefficient for friction from the creep curves.
