Out-of-round railway wheels—assessment of wheel tread irregularities in train traffic

TL;DR: The results from an extensive wheel measurement campaign performed in Sweden are given and discussed in this paper, where the selected wheels had travelled a distance of more than 100,000 km, and the measurements were conducted when the train wagons/coaches had been taken out of traffic for maintenance, most of them due to reasons other than wheel OOR.
