Details of the service
Data from e.g. hotbox detection & wheel impact and load detection systems are provided to interested railway operators. The standard measuring equipment can be adapted to customers´s needs. Current data products are described in the ÖBB Infra network statement.
-
Derailment Detection
Detection of derailed wheel towards the center of the track
-
Dragging Equipment Detection
Detection of parts hanging off the train that could damage equipment on the track
-
Hot Box and Hot Wheel Detection
Alerting when increased temperatures of axle bearings or brakes appear
-
Wheel Impact and Load Detection
Alerting in the event of axle load overrunsand flat spots (measurment in the area of the wheel-rail contact)
-
Profile Validation System
Measurement of objects that harming the cross-section profile of the train (measurement exceeding the train profile)
-
Vehicle regocnition
Wheel-accurate data assignment for RFID-tagged vehicles

Facts & figures
- 40 train running checkpoints with multiple sensors are located at serval border entries, major junctions, and critical points.
- In addition, ther are over 170 hotbox detection systems every 30–50 km on the ÖBB-Infrastructure network.
- Further checkpoints will be added as part of line upgrades and new construction projects.
- To date, already almost 8 million data sets have been analyzed.
- Of the 44,000 anomalies detected, 12,000 had an operational impact.
