We’re proud to partner with Greenbrier Europe as they test GB25RS bogies in service in Poland and Germany. As part of the tests, Amsted Digital’s IQ Series gateway with Bogie IQ technology is providing real-time insights.
?? Following the successful testing of the GB25RS bogies on Sggrrs wagons in Austria from 2019 to 2022, where the radial wheel set arrangement of the wheel sets on narrow routes resulted in more than double the mileage between wheel reprofiling, it was time for us to extend the testing of the GB25RS bogies to the BOX E06A wagon on regular routes in Poland and Germany. ?? The wheel wear test will be closely monitored through an array of sensors that track the wagon’s driving dynamics, including wheel displacement and the acceleration of both the bogie and the wagon. Additionally, sensors will provide data on the wagon’s load status (empty or full) and the frequency of brake engagement during operation. Environmental factors, such as temperature and humidity, will also be continuously monitored. GPS tracking will allow for the real-time recording of speed, position, route characteristics, mileage, and other relevant parameters. Data will be transmitted via 4G/LTE to our facility in ?widnica for ongoing analysis. The GB25RS bogies are fitted with the latest version of friction dampers featuring elastomers, enhancing the stability of their performance and ensuring precise axle alignment in the track arc (radial steering). The primary goal of this test is to compare the wheel wear of the GB25RS bogies with that of the standard Y25 bogie used in the same train and under identical conditions. The GB25RS bogie is designed to support a maximum load of 25t/axle, with a mass comparable to the Y25 bogie, which is designed for a 22.5t/axle. #RailwayTechnology #InnovationInTransport #BogieTesting #WheelWear #RailwayEngineering #Transportation #GB25RS #SustainabilityInTransport #FreightWagons #RailwayDevelopment #TrackEngineering #LoadTesting #BogieDesign #TransportInnovation #MobilitySolutions #ElastomerTechnology #FrictionDampers #RailwayTesting
