Track geometry and vibration monitoring provides comprehensive assessment of railway infrastructure condition, focusing on track alignment, rail wear, and vibration transmission to surrounding structures. Railway operators face unique challenges with high-speed rail corridors, freight routes, and urban transit systems that require continuous monitoring to maintain safety and operational efficiency. Our nationwide deployment covers everything from high-speed rail lines to industrial spurs, providing rail authorities with data-driven insights for maintenance prioritization.
Track geometry monitoring measures rail alignment, cross-level, gauge, and longitudinal profile using sophisticated laser and inertial measurement systems. Vibration monitoring captures rail and ballast response to train loading, identifying potential issues with track components and foundation stability. Data integration provides comprehensive views of track health, enabling predictive maintenance strategies that reduce costly derailments and service disruptions.
Our systems operate in harsh railway environments with electromagnetic interference, extreme temperatures, and continuous vibration. Wireless sensors and solar-powered installations ensure reliable operation in remote locations. Real-time data processing identifies anomalies immediately, while trend analysis supports long-term asset management decisions. Integration with existing railway signaling and maintenance systems ensures seamless workflow compatibility.
