Machine vision systems offer a number of possibilities for automating railway maintenance inspection and optimising the use consumables. Two such applications developed by British Rail Research are of particular relevance to vehicle maintenance. PadVIEW is a fully developed product which is already being used to determine the wear rate and thickness of individual brake pads. TreadVIEW is a system presently awaiting trial which measures wheel profiles and allows consistent recording of critical profile characteristics. This paper describes the technical features of both systems, shows some typical results, discusses implementation and benefits, and examines some possible additional applications.
