Use Cases

• Condition monitoring of switches: Record impacts and conspicuous movements to detect wear or damage early.
• Monitoring of bridges and bridge bearings: Observe loads and movements during ongoing operation.
• Monitor rail joints and insulated joints: Detect recurring load peaks and changes.
• Monitor transitions between different substructures: Identify conspicuous movements or settlements at critical transitions.
• Record loads on tracks and sleepers: Find out which sections are particularly stressed.
• Monitor damage after construction work: Recognize whether construction work or heavy vehicles put unusual load on adjacent installations.
• Alert on condition changes: Trigger a message when movements or loads exceed defined limits.
• Prioritize maintenance by condition: Repair critical installations and track sections first, based on measured trends.
• Verify measures: Before-and-after comparison following tamping, rail replacement, switch overhaul or other interventions.
• Compare track sections: Contrast loads and condition development of different sections.
• Locate anomalies: Assign conspicuous measurement events in time and space.
• Protection against unauthorized intervention: Detect and report unusual movements at monitored installations.
• Better estimate the lifetime of critical installations: Use condition and load trends over longer periods as a basis for renewal planning.
