Abstract:FRA’s Office of Research and Development has funded the development of an ultra-portable ride quality meter (UPRQM) under the Small Business and Innovative Research (SBIR) program. Track inspectors can use the UPRQM to locate segments of track that may have safety defects such as irregular track geometry or poor vertical support. In addition, the UPRQM can be used by researchers studying rail vehicle dynamics and vehicle-track interaction issues.
