A device for distant on-the-fly measuring of box temperature in the railway rolling stock

It is designed as a part of automated remote control system (ARCS) for railway rolling stock. It employs twospectral infrared radiometer, which has a vibration-resistant pyroelectric sensor system. The device is placed in a floor camera fastened to the rail. It includes optomechanical detector and microprocessor automated control system, which are managed by ARCS computer.
Such a device is inevitable for Ukrainian railways to meet the up-to-date safety standards and raise the vehicles velocity to 300km/h. Having the design documentation, the device is suitable for manufacturing production.

Features:

Temperature measurement range	–30 – +150 °С
Accuracy	± 1,5 °С
Ambient temperature	– 40 – +50 °С
Spectral range	7–14 µm
Velocity range	5 – 300 km/h

Applications:

railroad safety control systems;
subway safety control systems.

Developer:

Radiation Sensors Department of the Institute of Physics (S.K. Sklyarenko).
