Abstract

This abnormality monitoring device is equipped with: an acceleration data acquisition unit for acquiring measurement data about the acceleration of a vehicle chassis; an abnormality presence determination unit for determining whether an abnormality is present on the basis of a comparison between the acceleration and a threshold; a frequency analysis unit for analyzing the acceleration frequency when the abnormality presence determination unit determines that an abnormality is present, and an abnormality type identification unit for identifying abnormality type on the basis of the frequency pattern.

Claims (25)

1. An abnormality monitoring device comprising:

a memory configured to store instructions; and

a processor configured to execute the instructions to:

acquire measurement data of an acceleration of a vehicle chassis;

determine whether an abnormality is present on a basis of comparison between the acceleration and a threshold;

analyze a frequency of the acceleration when it is determined that an abnormality is present;

identify a type of abnormality on a basis of a pattern of the frequency; and

determine whether to start identification of the type of abnormality by comparing a travel pattern of a vehicle including the vehicle chassis with a predetermined pattern indicating an acceleration for each kilometer or each elapsed time.

2. The abnormality monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to identify the type of abnormality on the basis of the pattern of the frequency and a measurement result of the acceleration when the processor is unable to identify the type of abnormality from the pattern of the frequency.

3. The abnormality monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to determine that an abnormality is likely to be on a track side when it is determined that an abnormality is present in a certain section among sections of the track and it is determined that an abnormality is not present in other sections.

4. The abnormality monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to:

acquire measurement data of an acceleration from a plurality of vehicle chassis; and

determine that an abnormality is likely to be on a track side when it is determined that an abnormality is present in a same section among sections of the track for each of pieces of measurement data of the acceleration from a plurality of vehicle chassis.

5. An abnormality monitoring method executed by a processor, comprising steps of:

acquiring measurement data of an acceleration of a vehicle chassis;

determining whether an abnormality is present on a basis of comparison between the acceleration and a threshold;

analyzing a frequency of the acceleration when it is determined that an abnormality is present;

identifying a type of abnormality on a basis of a pattern of the frequency; and

determining whether to start identification of the type of abnormality by comparing a travel pattern of a vehicle including the vehicle chassis with a predetermined pattern indicating an acceleration for each kilometer or each elapsed time.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium that stores a program for causing a computer to execute steps of:

acquiring measurement data of an acceleration of a vehicle chassis;

determining whether an abnormality is present on a basis of comparison between the acceleration and a threshold;

analyzing a frequency of the acceleration when it is determined that an abnormality is present;

identifying a type of abnormality on a basis of a pattern of the frequency; and

determining whether to start identification of the type of abnormality by comparing a travel pattern of a vehicle including the vehicle chassis with a predetermined pattern indicating an acceleration for each kilometer or each elapsed time.
