INSPECTRAIL: End-to-end preventive inspection system for railways
Project fact sheet
INSPECTRAIL
inspectrail.esVertical: Smart Industry
Project description
Lack of knowledge of the “health status” of the railway infrastructure is the problem that INSPECTRAIL addresses. That lack of information is part of the reason that the railway – as a core area of sustainable mobility – is facing important operational challenges: 24% of incidents cause delays and 60% are linked to problems in the infrastructure.
This project involves installing inspection systems in any railway vehicle to provide a complete picture of the state of the infrastructure by using a protected technology that monitors the track, the catenary, wireless communications and surroundings. Data are thus generated with greater frequency, at an affordable price and with an end-to-end view of the infrastructure.
Market
The total, available and target markets for the project are:
- TAM: €23.9B
- SAM: €1.8B
- SOM: €716M
On the other hand, the project has the following potential customers:
- Infrastructure managers
- Constructors and maintenance providers
- Integrated operators
- Rolling stock manufacturers
- End-to-end inspection solution providers
