Wheel Impact Load Detection System (WILD)
A prototype automated system for On-Line estimation of
Wheel Impact Loads and detection of Wheel Flats of running trains has been developed.
The Instrumentation System consisting of both Hardware and Software components has then been rigorously field tested at Ajgain Railway Station, near Lucknow for more than two years.
Strain-Guage Technology has been employed and data is collected over 24-channels along a rail length of five meters. Intelligent software algorithms and codes have been developed and embedded into the hardware processors. For more Details visit site: Wheel Impact load Detection System (WILD)

Derailment Detection Devices
This project envisages development of On-Board equipment for sensing derailment possibilities of rolling stock. Development includes appropriate instrumentation and signal processing strategy and its integration with the existing brake mechanism for minimizing losses due to dragging of derailed vehicle.
Presently there is no instrumentation on Indian
Railways for detecting derailment possibilities.
