To meet the requirements for automated testing during equipment maintenance for odometers in urban rail transit,this paper first compares different measurement methods of odometers,and then proposes a quick measurement method of odometers that is suitable for field maintenance.It also makes the proposal that,to improve the accuracy of the test results of odometers,statistical analysis of their dynamic performance indicators should be performed,rather than testing and analysis of their static performance indicators.The proposed quick measurement method of odometers has been verified through prototype testing and put into practical application,and has produced good application results.
