Abstract (EN): The axle bearing damage process has safety and economic implications on the exploitation of railways systems. Therefore it has been the object of intense attention by railway operators and transportation authorities, leading to a variety of approaches and systems currently in place to deal with the problem. The MAXBE project, an EU-funded project, is addressing these issues. Its strategic objective is to provide validated and demonstrated concepts, strategies and guidelines for the interoperable axle bearing monitoring and diagnosis that supports the railway operators and managers dealing with the threats imposed by the existence of axle bearing defects. In this paper, a review of the current systems and methodologies for axle bearings condition monitoring given. Then, the main technical aspects of the on-going MAXBE project are presented to the scientific community and to the interested stakeholders to promote further the advancement of axle bearing condition monitoring technology. © Civil-Comp Press, 2014.
