Rail inspection by Flexible Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer (RIFLEX)
Date du début: 1 juin 2014, Date de fin: 31 mai 2016,
"Railway maintenance is a costly activity that can be improved by faster inspection of assets. If the speed of inspection of the railhead can be increased the potential cost savings are significant. Current NDT solutions implement hand held devices that effectively scan at walking pace. EMAT devices have been utilised to demonstrate that a non-contact solution that can be mounted to a vehicle is f ...

Ultrasonic Inspection Solution for railway crossing points. (SAFT)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2015, Date de fin: 31 mars 2016,
SAFT Inspect is an ultrasonic inspection solution for railway crossing points. Our technology facilitates for the first time full volume inspection of railway crossings. Rail crossing, known as “frogs” are mechanical installations that enable a train to switch from one track to another. Frogs are subjected to repetitive impact from the rolling stock, causing fatigue cracking. For this reason, fro ...

Ultrasonic Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique for Inspection of Railway Crossings (Frogs) (SAFTINSPECT)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2014,
The European rail infrastructure employs high manganese, high strength steel components at safety critical locations such as crossings. Restricted access to these assets limits the range of NDT techniques available for in-service inspection to those capable of inspection from the top surface. Conventional ultrasonic inspection of high manganese steel is ineffective due to the inherent coarse grain ...

Wireless Railway Condition Monitoring (WIRAILCOM)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2014,
Railway operators rely on remote condition monitoring (RCM) of assets to enable continued safety and efficiency. It is not currently cost effective to monitor every asset; some vehicle systems, such as freight trains, use no technology and are therefore difficult to add modern electronic systems to. There are neither the power systems nor the data systems available to link a new monitoring system ...
