Traffic & Transport

Traffic & Transport

Embedded vision applications count and identify vehicles in road traffic and thus influence traffic. In rail applications, precise measuring technology with machine vision inspects tracks and train components, detecting wear and defects. At the same time, intelligent onboard solutions give train drivers and maintenance staff direct feedback regarding the condition of the route, thereby ensuring safety and keeping downtimes to a minimum.

 

Application examples

Photonfocus sensors for wheel and rail inspection

Wheel and rail inspection

Rails and wheels used in railway engineering are subject to high stresses. This is where measuring systems with fast image sensors and onboard data analysis come in: These detect wear and damage, reducing downtimes caused by unforeseen maintenance and improving safety during operation.

Pantograph inspection

Pantographs and overhead cables are a critical point in rail infrastructure. Automatic inspection systems with embedded vision and direct processing of image data can detect faulty and worn pantographs at an early stage. This minimizes the time and effort required for manual inspections, as well as reducing the failure rate.
