Railway Monitoring & Train Tracking

Our advanced fiber optic monitoring systems ensure rail network’s efficient and safe operation by providing real-time data on train positions, speed, and direction. This enables predictive and preventative maintenance, reducing downtime and enhancing safety. From detecting rail defects to monitoring track conditions, our solutions empower rail operators to optimize performance and ensure reliability.

How it works

The fiber already buried beside most rail corridors becomes a dense acoustic array. Every train, wheel defect or rockfall produces a distinct vibration pattern that our system classifies and localizes in real time, with no trackside power required.

What we detect

Train position, speed and direction
Wheel and rail defects
Rockfalls, landslides and intrusion
Cable theft and trespassing

Key Benefits

01

Real-Time Tracking

Monitor train positions, speed, and direction in real-time.

02

Predictive Maintenance

Identify potential issues before they escalate, reducing costs and downtime.

03

Enhanced Safety

Detect hazards such as the crossing of people or animals, rock falls, rail defects, and flat wheels to prevent accidents.

04

Optimized Operations

Improve rail network efficiency and support the implementation of driverless train systems.

Why it matters

Operators improve capacity and punctuality, move from scheduled to condition-based maintenance, and raise safety across the corridor, often by activating fiber that is already in the ground.
