    RailSense VoidSense (RTVMD)

    SKU: RS-VoidSense

    VoidSense® from RailSense is a void meter (RTVMD) and track temperature monitor. It is designed to be installed on a rail network track to monitor both temperature and movement of the rail, allowing under-track voids to be detected remotely and before occurrence of failure.

    Detailed Description

    Continuous detection of void conditions provides cost savings during maintenance cycles by allowing voids to be identified long before a settlement or encroachment becomes an issue. The trending of the displacement data enables predictive maintenance, or imposing safe speed limits on the relevant sections of the rail network.

    By combining temperature, weather and solar radiation data, RailSense can build a picture and provide analytics to assist in the design and maintenance of the rail network.

    The devices are built for zero-maintenance and ultra-low power consumption, backed with solar charging.

    The VoidSense measures with a high degree of accuracy.

    • Replaces mechanical void measure devices
    • Avoids staff on tracks to take and record the readings – saves cost, errors and rise
    • Temperature monitor for track to monitor temperature of the rail from –20 to +85 degrees C.
    • Intelligently plan train speeds, help prevent buckling, and keep the railway running as reliably as possible with improved passenger safety.

     

    Avialble with longer baseplate for switch and crossings.
