RIFFLES

Objective: System for Continuous Monitoring

Monitoring of the rail topography and the track‘s conditions

o Frame conditions: cost-efficient and robusto Damages: cracks, breaks, abrasionso Failures: gauge, missing screws, fixations

The system:

� Multi-sensor unit for data acquisition� A pre-processing with complex filtering as well as � An intensive adaptive digital processing unit for big data with image

processing and sensor fusion.


RIFFLES

The Sensor

The sensor unit containing � TOF-camera (time-of-flight camera with high 3D resolution and

reduced back light sensitivity for outdoor applications) � RGB-Camera with RGB-based CCD- or CMOS-Chip, � IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), a low cost 3-D orientation sensor and � GNSS, a low cost sensor together they result in a precision geo-

referencing modul

The equipment will be mounted at the engine of the locomotive and carried on regular operations.

Model building, data fusion and defect’s detection will be done offline.

The detected defects will be described and imported into a GIS for their further exploitation by GEOCAD
