Abstract

Systems and methods for predicting anomalies in a wheel system of a railway vehicle and a track. One example method includes determining a speed of the railway vehicle and whether the speed exceeds a speed threshold. The method includes obtaining, in response to the speed exceeding the threshold, a vibration measurement from a vibration sensor and determining, from the measurement, a classified vibration level and determining whether the classified vibration level is indicative of an anomaly, and deriving, in response to the classified vibration level being indicative of the anomaly, a dominant vibration frequency of the measurement. The method includes performing a comparison between the dominant vibration frequency and a predetermined frequency threshold, and identifying, based on the comparison and a reference classified vibration level, the anomaly existing within either or both of the railway vehicle wheel system and the track and performing a mitigation action.
