Sensys Traffic’s uses non-contact technology for analyzing the condition of passing pantographs at regular train operating speeds up to 250 km/h. Once installed, the sensor is designed to operate 24/7 without interrupting train traffic, including times when maintenance and service is performed. Already 6 countries have used the successful strategy to install APMS II on crossing bridges allowing for easy access.
When damage is detected, the detector sends an alarm via Ethernet to central control for verification and further actions. An alarm is sent within minutes of the passing event.
