Track Imaging

High-resolution imaging systems for high-speed railway inspection

HRS - High Resolution Surface

HRS (High-Resolution Surface) is a high-performance track imaging system designed for the detailed inspection of railway surfaces.

Equipped with high-definition line-scan cameras, it captures submillimeter images at high speed, making it ideal for the analysis of:

  • Rails
  • Fishplates
  • Fasteners
  • Sleepers
  • Ballast
  • Other track components.

The system is fully adaptable and can be mounted on virtually any railway or inspection vehicle. Thanks to its adjustable orientation and proprietary lighting and synchronization architecture, HRS ensures optimal image acquisition even at full operating speed, with microsecond-level timing accuracy.

AI-Enhanced Inspection

Proprietary software allows data to be collected and analyzed either directly from the vehicle’s control cabin or remotely from a separate location.

Integrated artificial intelligence empowers the HRS system to autonomously detect and assess:

  • Cracks and surface defects;
  • Presence and alignment of components;
  • Deformations and wear;
  • Structural integrity indicators.
