Evaluation of a force plate system for measuring center of pressure in railroad ballast

Evaluation of a force plate system for measuring center of pressure in railroad ballast

Highlights • We evaluate a force plate system for measuring center of pressure in railroad ballast. • The effects of surface conditions (NB, WB and MB) were not significant for Δ COPx , y , z. • No difference was found for Δ COPx , y , z between level and cross-slope conditions. • Δ COPx , y , z wer...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • We evaluate a force plate system for measuring center of pressure in railroad ballast. • The effects of surface conditions (NB, WB and MB) were not significant for Δ COPx , y , z. • No difference was found for Δ COPx , y , z between level and cross-slope conditions. • Δ COPx , y , z were different between the center and corners of force plate in ballasts. • This force plate system can expand the scope of biomechanical studies on ballast.
