System Architecture
Four components, one safety chain
RAG
Signal Generator
Applies a controlled acoustic signal to the rail.
RAR
Receiver
Listens to the signal and echoes from defects up to 2 km in both directions.
RASP
Trackside Panel
Collects data and relays it to the control centre over fibre or RF.
CCSM
Control Centre
Presents alarms, location and trends to the operator in real time.
How RailAcoustic® Works
The system analyses acoustic waves and detects broken rails within seconds.
RailAcoustic Workflow in 5 Steps
Every step, from manufacturing to field feedback, under one roof.
01Production
Acoustic sensing hardware and sensor components are manufactured for field conditions.
Each component is quality-tested to meet industrial standards before deployment.
02Installation
Sensors, data units, and power infrastructure are installed along the line in a planned layout.
Cabling and connection points are optimized according to field conditions.
03Test & Signal
After installation, the system is validated through signal calibration and functional tests.
Data from all sensor points is synchronized with the central system.
04Data Processing
Collected acoustic data is analyzed in real time to derive potential anomaly patterns.
AI algorithms classify the data and generate early warning alerts.
05Feedback
Outputs are delivered to operators, and the model is continuously improved with feedback.
Operator feedback is fed back into the model to continuously improve accuracy.
