Digital Rail: A Data-Driven Approach to Railway Management

Investing in research and development in the rail industry is essential to ensure that railways remain a crucial and viable mode of transportation for years to come.  

In collaboration with Prof. Hannes Gräbe from the University of Pretoria, and Stewart Chaperon, Test and Measurement Engineer at TANDM, we are going to show how a smart monitoring system uses a data feedback loop to improve decision making regarding railway management. Advancements in technology are giving the rail industry access to sensors, data analytics and artificial intelligence designed to collect and analyze data from various components of the railway infrastructure with the primary goal of improving the overall safety, efficiency, and reliability of railway systems.

During this webinar you will be able to learn about a real application of a smart rail monitoring system that involves:  

• 24/7 structural health data collection;
• remote asset management;
• real-time alarms in case of threshold breaches;  
• advanced algorithms and AI to support decision making.
