Signalling & Train Comms

Information

fiberRAIL® software tracks all trains on your rail network in real-time by fiber-optic sensing. It provides position, speed and length of trains, checks train integrity and infrastructure, and detects flat spots on wheels that could damage the rails. fiberRAIL® uses your existing fiber cable installations along the railroad. It operates in combination with special opto-electronic devices installed every 30-50 km. The performance of our algorithms has been successfully demonstrated by pilot operation on the network of the Austrian railway company Österreichische Bundesbahnen (ÖBB).
AIT Austrian Institute of TechnologyAIT is Austria's largest RTO with 1300 employees and a EUR 158 million turnover (2018). It is positioned as a key player in the Austrian and European innovation system by performing applied research for and enabling the market exploitation of innovative infrastructure solutions. In cooperation with our partner Dr.Döller Vermessung ZT we offer fiberRAIL®, an infrastructure-based electronic system that uses the existing fiber-optic cable network. Functionalities: • Seamless, permanent and accurate train tracking provides position and speed data in real-time. This facilitates precise predictions of train arrival or delays. BENEFIT: Significant cost reduction for infrastructure operators! • Warnings on hazards in real-time allow immediate reaction to severe flat-spots, broken rails, derailments and lost wagons.
