Holland: Track Inspector

Holland

Holland's Track Inspector is a lightweight, plug-and-play track measurement technology deployed from a conventional tow hitch receiver and features a non-contact encoder. This eliminates the necessity of a dedicated hi-rail platform for the track measurement system; any available hi-rail platform with a hitch mount can be converted to an inspection vehicle. It can be operated by a single operator (weighs less than 50 pounds), deployed or removed within a minute, and stored and shipped with a luggage-size case. With three different software options; railroads can choose the one that best suits their operators' needs. Attended software provides real-time testing with comprehensive test reporting. Foot-by-foot geometry data, geometry exception lists, rail profile data and rail size/weight identification can be exported in csv format after each inspection. Alert software provides visual and audible alerts for any track geometry exceptions, based on the thresholds for that track class. The web interface will show vehicle and defect locations, allowing the operator to stop and back up to the defect location. A downloadable defect report is provided after run is completed. Autonomous software provides the same working principles as our Locomotive or Rail Car ATGMS but deployed from a hi-rail vehicle. This completely autonomous operation provides data and defect delivery to customer servers or by email notification to designated personnel.
