Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0963896A2] The method involves exerting a pressure pulse on a rail from a first arrangement (DIS) mounted on a vehicle in the train; recording the pressure pulse propagating in the rail with a second arrangement (DIG) in the vehicle; evaluating the detected pulse to determine from how many axes of the vehicle the pressure pulse was reflected. An Independent claim is also included for an arrangement for checking the integrity of a railway train.
