Medellín Metro: Portable diagnosis system for mobile data acquisition Medellín Metro: Portable diagnosis system for mobile data acquisition A major project being run by the EAFIT University – Colombian Institute for the Development of Science and T echnology (Colciencias) and the Medellín Metro analyzed the dynamic response of the passenger cars. The two organizations needed to examine the operating conditions of the metro in Medellín to ensure it conformed with international railroad standard UIC- 518. This contains all the details for testing the ride performance of rolling stock from their dynamic response, in order to assess safety, track stress and ride conditions (stability, comfort, etc.).
