Rail Intelligence as-a-Service - Rapid Detection of Hotspots and Correlations in the Wheel-Rail System
Getting a clear, network-wide picture of how your wheel-rail system behaves usually means multi-year projects and heavy infrastructure investment. RET Network Insight delivers it within days.
A mobile RET1000 measurement node is temporarily installed on a vehicle and captures the necessary data during regular operation. This data is intelligently condensed into a network-wide hotspot map that reveals critical sections, hidden problem areas and correlations - without any changes to your infrastructure.
What we detect
- Noise hotspots
- Impacts
- Vibrations / running instability
- Comfort hotspots
- Wheel-rail contact anomalies
- Wear risks
- Geometry and track alignment
- Anomalies in switch contact
- Vehicle differences
- Environmental influences
How it works
1. Measure
The measurement equipment captures and transmits relevant raw data during operation.
2. Evaluate
Data is processed directly after every run - anomalies are detected automatically.
3. Detect Hotspots
We analyze the data and correlations across your network together with you.
4. Validate Measures
You can very quickly test and compare different measures.
The process, step by step
- Registration for Network Insight with Parametric (sales@parametric.ch)
- Scheduling, subject to available measurement equipment
- Shipment of a measurement kit and access to the cloud environment
- Installation of the measurement equipment on/in the vehicle
- Measurement during the agreed period, including monitoring of the equipment by Parametric
- Meeting with Parametric to discuss hotspots, correlations and options
- Report and data export
What you receive
- RET1000 Unit - mobile measurement node for autonomous data acquisition
- Analysis tool access - cloud-based evaluation and localization of hotspots, plus detailed raw-data analysis
- Joint review - shared detailed analysis and discussion of countermeasures after the measurement
