The suggested procedure can work with a two-dimensional laser displacement transducer or by processing a sole image from a single camera with a structured light source. These two procedures require fewer devices and simpler implementation processes and allow the use of mathematical algorithms that demand less information processing, thus generating more accurate results. Railway operators may implement this method to perform predictive maintenance to their rolling stock at a fraction of the regular cost; thus achieving better precision, availability, maintenance performance and improving safety. Results were compared to those given by commercial equipment, showing similar precision but a better cost-benefit relation.enghttps://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/id/publication/issn/0042-3114Dynamic measuringgeometric parametersprofilogramrailway testingwheel profileinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article2021-04-12Bernal, E.J.Martinod, R.M.Betancur, G.R.Castañeda, L.F.10.1080/00423114.2016.1147588
