Abstract:
Provided are methods for measuring forces exerted on rails or such like as a cause of the transit of vehicles on said rails, for determining the values of different parameters, and for calculating coefficients or other variables. Also provided are systems of devices that allow for the taking of values and for the recording, processing, and sampling of the resulting information based on measurement methods that allow directly measuring the lateral force, in a more simplified manner of installation resulting in lower cost in sensors and with greater precision based on the configuration of said sensors and their individual valuation.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for measuring directly lateral and vertical forces exerted by a vehicle traveling on a rail, the method comprising:\n measuring the elongations generated on the rail by the vehicle traveling on the rail via a first and second pair of extensometric sensors joined to the rail, wherein the first and the second pair of extensometric sensors are present on opposite lateral surfaces of the rail and each comprises a first upper extensometric sensor and a second lower extensometric sensor positioned separately from each other on the same vertical axis, and further wherein each extensometric sensor is individually connected to a recording device comprising a separate measuring channel for each of the extensometric sensors; calculating lateral and vertical forces generated by the vehicle on the rail via the lateral and vertical elongations measured by the extensometric sensors using a processor that is in communication with the recording device; and displaying and/or sending the calculated lateral and vertical forces to a user.
