INSPECTRAIL: End-to-end preventive inspection system for railways

Project fact sheet

INSPECTRAIL

inspectrail.es/

Vertical: Smart Industry

Project description

Lack of knowledge of the “health status” of the railway infrastructure is the problem that INSPECTRAIL addresses. That lack of information is part of the reason that the railway – as a core area of sustainable mobility – is facing important operational challenges: 24% of incidents cause delays and 60% are linked to problems in the infrastructure.

This project involves installing inspection systems in any railway vehicle to provide a complete picture of the state of the infrastructure by using a protected technology that monitors the track, the catenary, wireless communications and surroundings. Data are thus generated with greater frequency, at an affordable price and with an end-to-end view of the infrastructure.

Technology Readiness Level TRL4 - TRL 9
Venture Readiness Level Traction
