Case Study

Case Study: Track Geometry Measurement

MoniRail’s modular solution enables a cost-effective way of measuring a range of track geometry parameters, comparable to measurements taken by dedicated track recording vehicles. The system has been proven against Network Rails measurement trains.

Track Geometry Measurement Sensor:

  • The system does not measure Track Gauge.

Axlebox Sensor System:

  • Provides a wider range of track measurements.

Project Aims

In combination, the full system can regularly collect important track data to enable a better
understanding of the track asset while enabling transitions to condition based maintenance.

Systems can be:

  • Quickly and easily retrofitted to existing rolling stock or fitted to new rolling stock.
  • Fitted within normal maintenance routines.
  • Freight vehicles can also be used.
  • Data is communicated wirelessly.
  • Data is collected continuously.

Using the system on a daily basis enables track engineers to quickly identify problems being caused by weather extremes:

  • Detection of washing out caused by excessive rainfall.
  • Track problems caused by excess heat.
