In 2025, ADTS technologies were integrated into a newly commissioned inspection train operated by Metro Taipei, marking a significant upgrade in automated diagnostics for urban railway infrastructure in Taiwan.
The vehicle is equipped with a full suite of high-performance systems designed to perform real-time inspections across multiple diagnostic domains: rail, tunnel, geometry and structural integrity.
Installed Systems
Full Rail Profile (FRP) Measurement System
Four high-precision rail profile units mounted on a rigid frame enable transversal wear analysis and support track geometry evaluation.Track Vision Inspection System (TVIS)
Combines high-definition cameras and 3D profiling to detect rail surface defects and ballast fastener conditions with exceptional clarity.Tunnel Scan System (TS)
Acquires detailed tunnel imagery and performs clearance profiling while automatically detecting tunnel wall anomalies.Third Rail System (3RDRS)
Measures the geometrical position of the third rail, ensuring alignment and safety compliance.Corrugation System (CS)
Detects longitudinal rail defects through frequency-band analysis, highlighting early signs of rail corrugation.- Crack Detection System (CD)
- Crack Eddy – Surface Crack Detection System
Identifies surface cracks on the rail head, with detection capabilities up to 5 mm in depth. - Ultrasonic Testing (UT) System
Detects internal rail defects using high-frequency ultrasonic waves, enabling early fault prevention.
- Crack Eddy – Surface Crack Detection System
This comprehensive integration allows Metro Taipei to achieve a higher level of diagnostic capability and maintenance planning, reducing manual inspections and improving system reliability.
