Summary
Wheel and track interactional forces can be used to detect track status and guide track maintenance. This paper proposes a new indirect online method to detect wheel and track interactional forces based on an extreme learning machine (ELM) approach using acceleration and track geometry data. This method is different from the traditional methods. The ELM algorithm provides a good generalization in a few minutes with a very fast training speed, so it may be used online. The prediction model for wheel and track interactional forces has been validated by the use of field test data from the high speed comprehensive train. The results show that the model training speed is faster than any conventional popular indirect measurement and demonstrates good consistency when compared with the field test data.
