using everyday in-service trains = better data
18%
of all Network Rail delay minutes are caused by track faults and failures including broken (ORR)
Identify track defects before passenger comfort is affected
Continuous track geometry & ride quality monitoring from in-service trains. No dedicated survey runs required for this level of continuous insight. The system complements dedicated services that provide the safety critical runs by providing high quality, more frequent data. Enables a better understanding of how the track asset is behaving, early identification of developing faults, early assessment of fault priority and associated risks.
The MoniRail product platform for passenger & freight services is comprised of small, light-weight sensing units, an accurate positioning system and data processing.
Continuous monitoring
Better data = Improved decision making,
better resource utilisation, more effective maintenance and reduced costs.
Improved safety.
Daily data means rapid changes caused by the local environment can be identified rapidly
Remote visibility
means the asset condition can be continuously monitored from anywhere at any time enabling early fault detection.
Change the below to Prioritisation of faults by risk.
Integrate data with existing asset management systems if required.
Our Product Suite
The MoniRail product platform for passenger & freight services is comprised of small, light-weight sensing units:
TrackRider
Real track geometry. Measured
TrackRider turns everyday passenger or freight services into a continuous monitoring fleet.
A single compact unit, fitted to the train body on the secondary suspension, rides along on in-service journeys gathering data as it goes.
TrackRider+
Track geometry & degradation
Everything in TrackRider, plus a bogie-mounted sensor that measures actual track geometry and bogie instability.
TrackRiderPro
Advanced defect detection
The finest level of detail in the TrackRider range. Everything in TrackRider Plus, plus an axlebox-mounted sensor for short-wavelength track faults, wheel condition and rail surface defects.
What we measure and can identify
Modular system enables hardware deployments to be bespoke across a vehicle dependent on what the customers measurement requirements are.
- Ride quality (lateral and vertical)
- Longitudinal level (standard)
- Alignment
- Twist
- Corrugation
- Squats
- Broken Rail
- Acceleration (at all suspension levels)
- Track bed changes overtime
- Quick assessment of maintenance effectiveness
- Suspension instability
- Impacts on switches and crossings
Why Continuous Monitoring Matters
The adoption of in-service monitoring represents a logical shift in railway maintenance, establishing a forward-thinking, data-driven approach that manages rail networks as interconnected systems. Treating the railway as a cohesive system involving both track and train ensures that maintenance activities address the root causes of ride quality and track geometry issues comprehensively, leading to a more resilient and sustainable railway system. By transforming trains into intelligent, in- service data collectors, the rail industry can take a significant step towards modern, reliable and resource-efficient maintenance practices.
More effective monitoring of the asset base
Reduced cost of monitoring and maintenance
Whole system maintenance for track and change
