Flat Wheel Detection (FWD)
Digital Infrastructure
Information
FWD is a system designed to detect flat wheels on any rolling stock when crossing the vibration detection unit. A flat wheel has the potential to cause extensive damage to the rail network, such as broken rails and in worst case scenario a derailment. Detecting flat wheels early and accurately will enable a much better maintenance plan and reduce costs significantly. ---> See more at www.ngrt.org
