Advanced system for monitoring railway crossings using physical models, providing a non-intrusive and highly efficient solution for the railway sector. The technology enables systematic monitoring of track devices, reducing the need for periodic manual inspections and optimizing maintenance. By using multibody and finite element models, the system estimates the dynamic behavior of crossings in real time, allowing the identification of the optimal moment for maintenance scheduling, thereby reducing the lifecycle costs of railway infrastructure.
Problems it Solves
Traditional systems for railway crossing inspection require periodic and costly manual inspections to detect issues related to safety and comfort at crossings. This approach is not only inefficient but may also lead to operational interruptions and expensive repairs due to undetected problems. Systems based solely on historical data require long acquisition campaigns and lack the necessary information for new situations that pose risks. Moreover, lengthy data acquisition campaigns hinder maintenance optimization.
This technology solves these problems by providing continuous and automatic monitoring, which estimates the degradation level of crossings without manual intervention. Optimizing maintenance helps reduce operational costs and extends the lifespan of railway infrastructure.
