Abstract
A rail vehicle wheel flat warning system comprising a first sensor, a second sensor and a controller. The first sensor may be located adjacent to a first side of a rail to provide data associated with a rail vehicle wheel passing over the first side of the rail. The second sensor may be located adjacent to the first side of the rail to provide data associated with the rail vehicle wheel passing over the first side of the rail. Furthermore, the controller may be in communication with the first sensor and the second sensor to receive data from the first sensor and the second sensor. The controller may determine a potential wheel deformity based on the data received from the first sensor and the second sensor.
