Measurement Solutions for the Special Requirements of Measuring Rail Vehicles and Rail Infrastructure
Since 1996, we have gained extensive experience in the development of measurement technology for the rail sector. Our solutions cover a wide range of applications, from high-speed trains to streetcars. Our products support the development phase and prototype testing as well as standard in-service measurements and track and infrastructure testing.
Fast and Reliable Measurement Results: Setting the Right Course with Railway-specific Measurement Technology from imc
Harsh environmental conditions with splash water, stone chipping, heat and cold as well as electromagnetic voltages make robust and powerful measurement hardware essential. imc data acquisition systems record several thousand channels synchronously and decentrally, including specific bus systems such as the MVB bus, both on the test bench and on the test track. They are networked and have powerful software for real-time data analysis and for creating analyses and reports for the user.

Expertise in Mobile Applications
Real-time Data Analysis with Distributed DAQ Systems
The imc DAQ systems work in a decentralized network and record all measurement data synchronously. Integrated real-time data analysis enables immediate display, processing and linking of the data. This analysis takes place simultaneously with the primary data acquisition. This means that data from different train areas and sources, such as analog channels and internal train fieldbuses, can be linked together.
Telemetry for Wheelsets of Rail Vehicles
Testing the wheelsets of rail vehicles is of crucial importance for several reasons. These tests make a significant contribution to the safety and reliability of rail transportation by identifying potential problems at an early stage and thus preventing serious accidents.
Train Brake Tests
Carrying out brake tests on railroads is an essential part of safety checks and maintenance procedures. These tests ensure that the trains' braking systems function reliably and effectively under all operating conditions. The various aspects and procedures of railroad brake testing are explained in the following.
Pantograph tests
The measurement of pantographs, which are generally used on electric trains to transmit the current from overhead lines, poses several challenges. These concern both the technical aspects of the measurement and the practical and operational conditions.
Sound Emission of Rail Vehicles According to ISO 3095
Noise emissions from track-bound vehicles are an important aspect of rail traffic, affecting both the environment and the quality of life of local residents. ISO 3095 is the internationally recognized standard that regulates the measurement and evaluation of noise emissions from railroad vehicles.
Noise Measurement Inside Rail Vehicles According to ISO 3381
ISO 3381 is an international standard that regulates the measurement and evaluation of noise inside rail vehicles and defines, among other things, the arrangement of microphones. It specifies the methods to ensure that the acoustic conditions inside the vehicles meet the comfort and safety requirements.
