Abstract

This paper proposes a new method to predict the unbalanced load distribution at coal-loaded wagons based on geometrical features by utilizing extreme learning machines. The proposed method is varied at various hyperparameter values and activation functions, also compared with back propagation artificial neural networks using various activation functions. The proposed inputs of the model are the geometrical features extracted from load shape with the pre-determined rule. The model’s output is the load value for each bogie by considering transverse and longitudinal unbalanced load conditions. For developing the model, the training data is obtained from finite element simulation by defining the coal geometries and the weights. The simulation is based on a coal wagon with a 50-Ton capacity. The proposed machine learning model has been evaluated and shows a good agreement between the prediction and the modeling data. Then, the predicted load/stress values can be utilized to assess whether the safety condition is disregarded.
