Berlin (Germany), December 19, 2025 – imc Test & Measurement, an Axiometrix Solutions company, has developed an advanced solution for precise wheel-rail force measurement, combining strain gauge sensors with wireless telemetry and real-time data acquisition technology.
Accurate measurement of forces at the wheel-rail interface is essential for rail vehicle development, certification, and condition monitoring. imc’s approach enables reliable capture of vertical and lateral wheel forces directly at the rotating wheel, supporting compliance with standards such as EN 14363 and helping to improve safety, ride comfort, and infrastructure protection.
The solution uses imc’s telemetry system MTP-NT that was upgraded in September 2025, ensuring robust and reliable data acquisition and transmission under demanding operating conditions. All measurement data
are synchronously recorded and processed in real time using imc’s modular data acquisition platform, allowing engineers to analyze forces and moments during testing without extensive post-processing. The system can also be expanded to include additional sensors, enabling comprehensive analysis of wheel-rail dynamics.
The technology enables faster testing cycles, enhances data accuracy, and reduces maintenance effort, offering significant benefits for vehicle manufacturers, test engineers, and rail operators.
