CARHM™
Comprehensive Automated Railway Health Monitoring
CARHM™ ensures the safety, security, and operational efficiency of railways through an advanced automated system that monitors the health of tracks and associated components, enabling predictive maintenance and reducing risks to passengers and assets.
What CARHM™ Monitors
- Track geometry and alignment: real-time monitoring of tilting, twisting, alignment changes, gauge, and camber
- Railway sleepers and inserts: integrity checks, lifespan tracking of fasteners, and vibration analysis
- Civil infrastructure: bridge, culvert, and embankment stability
- Electrical and mechanical systems: signals, overhead equipment, wires, poles, and insulators
- Advanced components: rail wear and fatigue, fastening systems, turnouts, and switches
- Environmental factors: weather impact and real-time obstruction detection
Technological Components
- Computer vision and AI for recognition, crack detection, predictive analytics
- Machine learning to model track behaviour and forecast maintenance
- IoT gateways for seamless on-site to central communication
- Quantum computing (future scope) for track stress and failure simulations
- Satellite imaging and drones for inaccessible areas
Key Benefits
- Proactive hazard detection improves passenger and asset safety
- Minimised downtime and reduced manual inspections for operational efficiency
- Predictive maintenance prevents costly failures and extends component lifespans
- Sustainable operations through reduced resource consumption
