Rail Track Condition Monitoring

RailGuard is a state-of-the-art device fitted on the rail that collects useful data about the condition of rails in real time to create trendlines that managers can use to make informed decisions. This includes making decisions about operations and maintenance at an earlier stage, leading to better maintenance planning. It also helps monitor construction sites near operating railways. Remote data collection with RailGuard further reduces the need for personnel on the track (foot patrol). It helps to minimize derailments through improved CRT control. In addition, informed decision making helps with compliance and forecasting of potential future deterioration of conditions. It also helps to reduce the duration of implementing speed restrictions, thus minimizing the impact on the train timetable.

Track Angel is a cost-effective system that is installed in moving passenger trains. It can monitor the condition of the tracks and the ride quality of passengers. It identifies individual track defects and detects locations with poor ride quality. The collected data also shows changes in track geometry over time. Thanks to the accuracy of GPS, Track Angel helps track maintenance staff to find the problems quickly.
