| description | This research presents an approach based on artificial intelligence techniques for wheel polygonization detection. The proposed methodology is tested with dynamic responses induced on the track by passing a Laagrss-type rail vehicle. The dynamic response is attained considering the application of a train-track interaction model that simulates the passage of the train over a set of accelerometers installed on the rail and sleepers. This study, which considers an unsupervised methodology, aims to compare the performance of two feature extraction techniques, namely the Autoregressive Exogenous (ARX) model and Continuous Wavelets Transform (CWT). The extracted features are then submitted to data normalization considering the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) applied to suppress environmental and operational effects. Next to data normalization, data fusion using Mahalanobis distance is performed to enhance the sensitivity to the recognition of defective wheels. Finally, an outlier analysis is employed to distinguish a healthy wheel from a defective one. Moreover, sensitivity analysis is performed to analyze the influence of the number of sensors and their location on the accuracy of the wheel defect detection system. |
