If you have identified a ride quality issue with a specific vehicle, you can use rMetrix to help isolate the root cause of the abnormal operation. rMetrix allows you to study the vehicle's acceleration response characteristics (carbody and truck lateral and vertical accelerations) when operating under various operational profiles (i.e., push/pull, no load, front of consist, back of consist/train set, varying speeds, etc.).

rMetrix allows you to quickly enter information about exceptions using hot keys. When an exception occurs, type a hot key using your keyboard, and the memo field of the exception will automatically populate with a description of your choice. You can specify any hot key to any description. Use the link below to download a sample rMetrix hot key file. Once it's on your computer, use the Hot Key Editor in rMetrix to change it to your liking.

Right-click or option-click here and choose "Save Target As..." or "Save Link As..." to save a sample rMetrix hot key file.

An rMetrix Performance Standard defines how exceptions are calculated during an inspection based on filter, measurement window, type (i.e., peak to peak, oscillatory), lateral/vertical directionality, and acceleration magnitude thresholds. rMetrix currently ships with the United States Department of Transportation's Federal Railroad Administration's 49cfr 213.333 Vehicle/Track Interaction Safety Limits performance standard. In addition, you have the ability to create your own performance standards from scratch. Use the link below to download additional performance standards, including:

  • Australian Ride Performance Standard (Queensland Rail Safety STD/0077)
  • European Ride Performance Standard (UIC 518)
  • United States 49 CFR 213.345 US Vehicle Qualification Limits
  • United States 49 CFR 238.427 Suspension Systems
