Early Detection of Track Movement – Turning Data into Action

Railmonitor’s latest webinar explores how dynamic trackbed geometry monitoring provides a new level of insight into track performance.
By combining static geometry and rail deflection measurements, infrastructure owners gain a deeper understanding of how the track behaves under real train loads.

This dual approach supports smarter maintenance planning, reduced costs, and safer operations.

About the Webinar

While we cannot prevent natural wear or ground movement, early detection buys valuable time to act.

In this 36-minute session, the Railmonitor team demonstrated how the TrackBed360 series and Digital Service Platform deliver:

• Real-time rail deflection monitoring to capture the actual movement of the track as trains pass
• Static geometry measurements (cant, twist, alignment) for long-term trend analysis
• Intelligent alarms
  • Sudden change alert – immediate notification of unexpected movement
  • Threshold alert – alerts when preset limits are exceeded
  • Forecast Lens alert – predictive warning up to seven days in advance

Key Takeaways

• Detect voids and loss of ballast support before they become critical

• Assess the effectiveness of tamping and ballast quality over time

• Maintain safe train speeds even in transition zones and temporary bridge areas

• Reduce maintenance costs by planning interventions based on accurate, live data
