The invention discloses a monitoring device and a monitoring method for monitoring travelling status of an internal
combustion locomotive. The monitoring device comprises a power supply module, a protection module, a sled-inspection module, a
signal acquisition module, a
signal modulating module, an ADC (
analog to digital converter) module, a central control module and a communication module. The monitoring method for monitoring travelling status of the internal
combustion locomotive monitors with the monitoring device, records each parameter and data in the travelling status of the internal
combustion locomotive, analyzes in real time, early warms an adverse situation, and establishes a terminal
database to realize the total trend predication of the locomotive and provide a maintenance reference. With the adoption of the monitoring device and the monitoring method provided by the invention, each travelling parameter is monitored in real time in the travelling process, recorded in real time and analyzed in real time, so as to judge the current travelling status of the locomotive, various adverse situations can be warned early, recorded automatically and then can be transmitted to the terminal
database for further analysis, and the powerful terminal
database is established to realize the total trend predication of the locomotive and provide the maintenance reference.
