How we read the whole network

The fleet platform

The fleet platform turns scattered onboard readings into one continuous read of the whole network, so conditioning acts where it pays. The platform sees the wheel-rail interface whole, across everything you run.

The coverage model

The fleet platform: Sparse-fleet rollout. Complete operator-network signal.

One equipped vehicle is enough to map the whole network: rail vehicles share the same track, so a single vehicle's onboard signal reads the curves it crosses. Conditioning the whole network takes more than one vehicle, so 30 to 40% of the fleet, equipped with monitoring and conditioning applicators, conditions the entire operator network. It works through the four-step loop: a fraction of the fleet, moving everywhere, senses and conditions everywhere.

01 · Measure

Two to eight weeks of baseline data. One to three units per rail vehicle, on the minimum vehicles needed to cover the network or section. Attach box and power. No vehicle modification.

02 · Map

Network data flows back. Problem hotspots surface. Traila returns a rough analysis and a friction-control strategy targeted at the highest-cost zones.

03 · Optimise

One rail vehicle proves the change in service, then the strategy rolls out across the fleet. Existing lubrication systems are tuned first; onboard systems expand where the value-add is real.

04 · Monitor

Continuous monitoring across the operator network. Improvements are tracked as units come online. The signal stays live; the optimisation never stops.

Continuous monitoring

The fleet platform: The signal stays live. The optimisation never stops.

The read does not end at the pilot. It is continuous condition-based monitoring across the operator network, so the map stays current as the fleet, the track and the seasons change, and the conditioning stays matched to what the interface needs.
