Vertical Track Deflection Measurement System
MRail is the only system available on the market today that measures and records vertical rail deflection. Using a laser/camera based system mounted onto a revenue generating car or inspection vehicle, MRail is able to measure the difference between the unloaded and loaded rail states.
Features
- Laser/camera based system mounted on truck (bogie) side frame
- Fully autonomous operation
- Data transmitted via onboard cell modem
- Deflection data (YRel) can help identify areas of weak support cause from degradation of various sources (ties, joints, ballast, sub-ballast, etc.)
- Deflection data (YRel) can be processed to help guide maintenance programs
Innovations
- Only available system on market that can measure vertical track deflection
- Aids in the inspection of bridges and culverts
- Complements other inspection methods to provide more complete track inspection
