Mobile testing equipment for urban rails

Local transport operating companies have special requirements in terms of inspecting and measuring infrastructure. They need more flexibility to perform measuring services quickly and easily on site. The Plasser InfraSpector Truck moves autonomously on roads and rails. It can be put on track and taken off again particularly fast in tight spaces.

In line with methods for measuring railway infrastructure accredited as per ISO/IEC 17025, the Plasser InfraSpector Truck is used to test railway track. This international standard specifies detailed requirements for the competence, impartiality, and consistent working method of testing labs to ensure reliable measuring results. The parameters provided are the basis for determining causal relationships related to railway tracks.

The mobile testing lab measures the track geometry, the longitudinal and transverse rail profile as well as the structure gauge and the ballast bed profile. Additional parameters can be integrated on request. The new Plasser InfraSpector Truck is a world’s first and will be shown at the InnoTrans outdoor display south (T2/55).

A new offer for customized infrastructure diagnostics

With the new Plasser InfraSpector series, Plasser & Theurer offers individually configurable solutions for measuring and inspecting railway infrastructure. Four different diagnostic areas focus on relevant parameters for tracks (B), rails (R), turnouts (S), and overhead contact lines (C).

If required, they can be analysed as precise status information and translated into recommended actions. Thanks to a comprehensive partner network with dedicated experts, Plasser & Theurer can offer these complete packages from a single source. The portfolio includes vehicles and systems - including maintenance if required - or data and analyses that customers can purchase as a service.

As measuring and inspection is also a major topic outside of local transport, the range includes the Plasser InfraSpector Truck as well as self-propelled track inspection vehicles and integration into modular mounted structures on container carrying wagons.

Take time for your visit to InnoTrans and meet us in Hall 26 (Stand 270) and on the outdoor display south (T2/50 + 55, T3/50).
