The HFVA and AE trackside inspection systems have been developed independently but have been designed in such a way to interface with existing rail infrastructure. In the picture shown below the setup at EMEF is shown. A beacon exchanges data with passing trains and searches in a database for fitted bogies and wheelset. Then, on request, wheelset data becomes available for AE post-processing, referencing critical key performance indexes (KPIs). At the main EMEF depot rolling stock bogie and wheelset inspection data is conveyed to a database, and made available for correlation in such a manner that, for damage episodes in a bogie\wheelset, historical data can be analysed\correlated for pattern identification.
