METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MONITORING THE HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS OF RAIL VEHICLES AND FOR DIAGNOSING COMPONENTS OF RAIL VEHICLES

摘要

The invention relates to a method and to a device for monitoring the handling characteristics of rail vehicles and for diagnosing components of rail vehicles. The inventive method is characterized in that the accelerating behavior of at least one vehicle component is detected and the detected accelerating behavior is compared with an expected accelerating behavior. To this end, the expected accelerating behavior of the at least one vehicle component is determined by detecting the actual accelerating behavior of the at least one vehicle component and by way of an unmonitored incremental learning process taking place during the due use of the rail vehicle (10). The inventive device is provided with a system that allows for the unmonitored and incremental learning of the actual accelerating behavior of the at least one vehicle component.
