As rail operation standards advance to meet societal needs. The incredible demands lead to increase rail track damage, due to the large forces from powerful locomotives with traction control systems, increasing frequency more high-speed passenger vehicles, and larger loading forces from increased freight limits. Maintaining railway tracks is essential for safety and efficiency, but traditional inspection methods are often workforce-intensive and prone to human error. These methods can overlook critical flaws, leading to potential safety hazards and costly maintenance issues.

We provide an innovative railway track inspection method using autonomous mobile robots equipped with multi-sensor technology. This approach allows for predictive maintenance, improved inspection accuracy, increased operational efficiency, and data-driven maintenance, all without disrupting traffic or maintenance activities.

The autonomous mobile robot features an ultrasonic flaw detection system for inspecting internal rail fractures. It also has a laser profiler sensor to detect track buckling and an AI-powered vision-based inspection system for visual track inspections. By leveraging big data from multiple sensors and storing it on a dedicated cloud platform, helps in precisely detect structural flaws in the tracks. This predictive capability enables timely maintenance, minimizing accident risks and extending the lifespan of railway tracks. The robot works during periods when the track segment is free of trains, ensuring smooth operations without causing blockages. Its redundant system design boost’s reliability, making it a state-of-the-art solution for modern railway maintenance.
