The main goal of this paper is to show a valid method to filter and double-integrate
acceleration data from piezo-electric accelerometer installed in conventional railway
platforms. The experimentation site involved is located in the region of Lille (north
of France). Prospection tests were carried out at this site, including boreholes till 10
m depth and Panda tests (dynamic cone resistance) till 1.2 m depth. Accelerometers
were installed in the interlayer of the platform. Acceleration data were recorded
during the circulation of different types of train. Theses acceleration signals were
then double-integrated in order to obtain the velocity and displacements within this
layer. Different filters were applied to obtain relevant displacement results.
Comparison was made regarding different axial weights corresponding to Intercity,
Freight and TGV trains.
