Track Imaging

High-resolution Imaging Systems for High-Speed Railway Inspection

← View all Railway Scan Monitoring Systems

ADTS Track Imaging is an intelligent visual inspection system that combines high-resolution imaging, laser profiling and artificial intelligence to detect and classify anomalies along the railway track.

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, Track Imaging Systems ensure optimal image acquisition even at full operating speed, with microsecond-level timing accuracy.

AI-Enhanced Inspection

Proprietary AHMES 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 Track Imaging Systems to autonomously detect and assess:

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