TEDAMOS TrackChain
TEDAMOS TrackChain enables continuous monitoring of track geometry using inclination sensors. The sensors, installed directly on the railroad ties, detect changes at a high measurement frequency, thereby enabling the early detection of critical deformations.
The inclination sensor technology used is accredited by SBB for track monitoring and applies to all TEDAMOS partners who operate inclination sensors on the track using TEDAMOS.
Relevant track parameters are calculated from the measured values in accordance with SBB Guideline I-50009. The data is transmitted wirelessly via LoRaWAN and visualized and analyzed in the TEDAMOS web portal. If defined thresholds are exceeded, an automatic alert is sent via email or SMS.
Benefits of TEDAMOS TrackChain
High Measurement Frequency
Simultaneous, high-frequency measurements make it possible to detect even short-term changes in the track structure.
Redundancy and Enhanced Safety
TEDAMOS TrackChain can be used as a standalone or supplemental measurement system with total stations. This combination increases the availability and reliability of the monitoring system.
Reliable Measurements in Any Weather
The sensors take measurements directly on the railroad tie - regardless of obstructed visibility caused by stationary trains or adverse weather conditions.
Areas of Application
TEDAMOS TrackChain is suitable for automated track monitoring during construction work, provided that no horizontal deformations are expected. Typical applications include:
- Monitoring for Track Subsidence
- Supplementary or redundant monitoring for total station systems, particularly when a high measurement frequency is required
- Special monitoring tasks following approval by SBB Geomatics
