Axle bearings are considered as important maintenance components in a railway vehicle. The maintenance actions can be defined in advance based on an assessment of the real condition of the axle bearing. This type of maintenance strategy belongs to condition-based maintenance (CBM). It is believed that CBM may help to achieve higher safety indirectly, higher reliability and lower maintenance cost. The CBM is managed by condition monitoring programs. This paper presents the current product development on axle bearing condition monitoring in Bogies in Bombardier Transportation. These products include the permanent on-board monitoring system, the mobile onboard monitoring system, and the trackside monitoring system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
