A system for measuring in-train and coupling forces of freight rail cars is provided. The system includes at least four strain sensing elements mounted to the coupler of a railway vehicle. Signals from the strain sensing elements are transmitted to a receiver where they are converted into force readings.

    L'invention concerne un système pour mesurer des forces internes à un train, et de couplage de wagons de marchandises de chemins de fer. Le système comprend au moins quatre éléments de détection de déformation montés sur l'attelage d'un véhicule ferroviaire. Des signaux à partir des éléments de détection de déformation sont transmis à un récepteur, où ils sont convertis en lectures de force.
