MUMBAI, India, Sept. 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617047637 A) filed by Peak To Peak Measurement Solutions Limited on April 14, 2026, for Rail Wheel Apparatus And Method.
Inventors include Brunskill, Henry Peter; and Hunter, Andrew Kevin.
The application for the patent was published on September 04, 2026, under issue no. 36/2026.
Abstract: An apparatus and method for monitoring rail vehicle wheel-rail track interaction at a sensing region of a rail vehicle wheel. The apparatus comprises an ultrasonic sensor mountable on the rail vehicle wheel to form the sensing region of the rail vehicle wheel, whereby the sensing region of the rail vehicle wheel comprises an interface surface at which a wheel-rail interface forms when a rail vehicle wheel contacts the interface surface. The ultrasonic sensor comprises at least one ultrasonic longitudinal bulk wave transducer configured to detect a VTI ultrasonic longitudinal bulk wave signal reflected from the wheel-rail track interface; and at least one ultrasonic shear bulk wave transducer configured to detect a VTI ultrasonic shear bulk wave signal reflected from the wheel-rail track interface.
