摘要

Abstract Apparatus and method for monitoring the condition of railway tracks (RT). A train borne cab radio (CR) is provided which comprises at least one sensor device (SEN) for determining movement, a processing device (MP) for establishing a profile of a track (RT) taking into account at least data from the at least one 10 sensor device (SEN) and location data from a location device (LR), and for comparing current data from the at least one sensor (SEN) with the profile, and a radio communication device for communicating data relating to results derived from the comparison.
