Amberg TrackControl
Amberg TrackControl is the new innovative monitoring solution for railway tracks assuring highest reliability and safety.
Amberg TrackControl monitors all safety-relevant track parameters such as superelevation, twist and vertical versine regardless of the weather conditions and in a high interval of one minute.
Data acquisition takes place reliably once every minute:
- The system works independently of weather-related restrictions such as rain, snow or fog.
- Even standing or passing trains cause no problems for the geotechnical sensors.
- Highest safety for railway operation due to high measurement accuracy, reliability and application of advanced analyse methods.
- Low personnel and maintenance costs thanks to simple and compact design.
- With the GEOvis 4.0 platform, real-time measurement data can be retrieved, visualized and analyzed at any time and from anywhere.
- The integrated alarm function informs you in real time by email or SMS.
The system is suitable for the following areas of application:
- For construction sites close to railway tracks.
- For underpassing construction measures (pipe jacking, tunnels, underpasses, etc.)
- When using auxiliary bridges.
We are pleased to carry out your project
In collaboration with our technology associates and in-house specialists, we provide state-of-the-art solutions and instruments tailored to your needs.
The essential information in real time
Amberg TrackControl reliably measures:
- Track twist
- Cant
- Vertical versine and settlement once every minute
An internationally proven system
Amberg TrackControl is a proven track monitoring system, which is successfully used in projects of national and private railway companies in Switzerland, Germany and France.
The reliable alarming during past failures proves the high functionality of the system. With Amberg TrackControl, you always have your track movements under control and increase the safety of your railway infrastructure.
With our international partner network, we guarantee a reliable customer support.
A modular system tailored to your project
- The basic module measures deformations with 48 longitudinal, 12 transverse and optionally four mast sensors on a track length of 56 meters.
- Extension of the base module by connecting up to five additional modules to a total length of up to 340 meters
| Basic Module | Max. setup (6 modules) | |
|---|---|---|
| Longitudinal sensors (uniaxial) | 48 | 288 |
