This system has all the characteristics of railFOM-IMPACT, adding the following features:
Derailment Probability Prediction:
railFOM-ULTIMATE can measure the lateral forces the train produces when negotiating a curve, and in combination with the vertical force signal, calculates the Y/Q factor, indicating the derailment probability.
In addition, and thanks to its high-accuracy time measurement, this system can calculate the attack angle of each axle over the measurement point, obtaining an additional indicator of the derailment probability.
The advantages railFOM provides, comparing with other systems, are the following:
