Revolutionizing Rail Safety: New System Alerts Managers to Track Defects
A new system has been developed to check the condition of train tracks more frequently and accurately. It uses sensors to find defects and sends real-time reports to maintenance managers. This technology was first created by the Federal Railroad Administration and is now used by companies like Amtrak and Union Pacific. By using this system, rail operators can improve track maintenance and increase train speeds while reducing wear and tear on their equipment.
