How to find a damaged train wheel without moving the train

In this article, the author recounts the story of developing a software solution for railway wheel diagnostics based on his father's research. The goal was to create an algorithm capable of detecting wear and damage to wheelsets without the need to stop or move the train to a depot. The author describes the process of writing code that analyzes rolling stock condition data and mentions the subsequent patenting of this technology. The project demonstrates the practical application of software engineering in industrial automation and transport safety. This article will be of interest to developers curious about algorithmizing physical processes and creating specialized software for equipment diagnostics. The author shares personal experience in transitioning from theoretical research to a finished technical solution that has been implemented in the real industry, emphasizing the importance of automating routine inspections in logistics.
