TRANSPORT RAIL SYSTEM WITH WEIGHING MEANS
First Claim
1. Transport rail system capable of detecting a weight of a rail vehicle, comprising:
- one or more rails, andone or more sensors for measuring a magnetic property,wherein at least one of the sensors is adapted to measure a change of a magnetic property in order to determine a weight bearing on one or more of the rails, the change of the magnetic property being caused by stress exerted on the rail by said weight,wherein one or more of the sensors are adapted to measure the change of a magnetic property of the rail itself and/or that one or more of the sensors are adapted to measure the change of a magnetic property of a supporting structure of the rail.
