METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE TRAIN MASS OF A TRAIN SET

摘要

The invention relates to a method for determining the train mass of a train set during train travel, wherein the train force and acceleration or deceleration during acceleration or deceleration phases of the train travel are measured and the train mass is calculated with the aid of said measurement values. The method is particularly characterized in that the train force measurement is carried out in at least two different measurement passes, wherein in a first measurement pass a first train acceleration having a first train force and in a second measurement pass a second train acceleration having a second train force are determined, wherein the amount of the first train force is smaller than the amount of the second train force. From the difference between the first train force and the second train force, the train weight is determined with respect to the difference between the first and second acceleration.
