AIT corner reflector for satellite-based bridge monitoring. Image: ©AIT

Bridges in transportation infrastructure are regularly inspected, but rarely for deflection or settlement, as this cannot be automated. A worldwide innovation uses satellite-based Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) data, which eliminates the need to install and maintain sensors. InSAR provides time series of displacements and enables continuous regional and local monitoring. The method has already been used successfully for glacier measurement, for example. Newly developed models now improve the accuracy in the sub-cm range, the structure temperature is compensated without sensors and the thermal deformation of the bridge is predicted. Initial measurements on a valley crossing in Austria with a span of 250 m show a standard deviation of 1.7 to 3.0 mm, which now enables efficient monitoring of many bridges at daily intervals.

With the new VacuCircle, the suction unit surrounds the steam nozzle in a circle. Image: ©beam

beam has developed a completely new, patent-pending steam suction handle, the VacuCircle, especially for industries with particularly high safety and hygiene requirements. The ergonomic handle unit with its own connection hose is compatible with all of the manufacturer's steam cleaning systems and is designed in particular for connection to the HACCP-certified high-end appliances in the Blue Evolution series. The outstanding feature of the VacuCircle is the innovative arrangement of the steam and suction unit: the suction unit surrounds the steam nozzle in a circle. In combination with the various silicone attachment nozzles, a vacuum is created during use thanks to the silicone jacket. This means that steam can no longer escape to the side, even when working with a spot jet nozzle. The new solution thus prevents aerosols or solid particles such as crumbs or dust from being whirled up.

CONDOR’s patented fixed barrier “spot” (UIC 60 rails) saves time and costs. Image:©CONDOR Gruppe

The CONDOR-group is a medium-sized family business. For more than four decades, its company CONDOR Sicherungsund Service GmbH & Co. KG has been a reliable partner to Deutsche Bahn as well as to municipal and private track infrastructure companies. It will present the patented “spot” fixed barrier for use on rails with rail web dampers. spot is certified according to DIN EN 16704 and has been technically approved by Deutsche Bahn for an unlimited period of time. Using spot, there is no need to excavate ballast or remove rail web dampers; superelevation elements are possible. spot is fixed within ten seconds; it can be used in crossing and track switch areas as well as for signalling equipment. Noise protection modules can also be fitted. Leaving the rail web dampers in place (on UIC 60 rails) results in significant time, cost, environmental and safety benefits compared to other systems.

New equipment for catenary islands. Images: ©DB Energie GmbH/Max Lautenschläger

Equipment for catenary islands opens up new possibilities for electrified and therefore green rail transport. Thanks to the new technology, it is no longer necessary to electrify the entire route, only short sections of track or stations. Overhead line islands are sections of a few hundred meters to a few kilometers in length that can be used to supply battery-powered trains on previously non-electrified lines. The traction power is fed into the overhead line through charging substations and not only powers the battery-powered trains, but also charges the traction batteries of the trains for the supply on non-electrified sections of track. Since May 2024, an equipment for catenary islands in Heide in Schleswig-Holstein has been supplying the battery-powered trains used there in regular operation for the first time.

Recording of the MP1 with language technologies. © Image: DB Systel GmbH

Digital recording of the “shunting ready message” (MP1). © Image: DB Systel GmbH

During rail operations, certain movements (referred to as measuring points) require communication between train drivers and railway traffic control, e.g. communication of the “shunting ready message” (MP1). Currently, no data is being recorded for some of these movements as they are only communicated verbally. Using language technology, DB Systel is now working on a project to record measuring point 1 (MP1) without changing the communication process in rail operations. Recording the actual data from conversations and comparing it to the target data will make it possible to derive data to analyse and improve the allocation process, thereby leading to fewer delays. Thus, travelers would also benefit from the collection of MP1 data, as predictions of delays can be significantly improved.

Smart protection for technicians: Site-specific voltage alerts. Image: ©DEHN SE

The electric field detector (DEHNsense EFD) warns of the danger of electric current by detecting critical electrical voltage and alerting the user in good time before entering a danger zone. It serves as an additional measure to the 5 safety rules and increases safety when working on electrical systems. It can be worn variably on the wrist or helmet to keep your hands free. If the technician mistakenly approaches a live switchgear cell or overhead contact line, a clear alarm is given. The response sensitivity of the EFD can be adapted to the specific installation in order to avoid false alarms. Visual, acoustic and haptic warnings prevent accidental entry of the danger zone. The EFD is app-connected. All important events or switchgear profiles are documented in the DEHNwork app.

Passengers want to be online in trains just like at home. Therefore, ensuring demand-driven mobile network coverage on trains is essential for the digitalisation of railways and achieving modal shift. Simultaneously, the 2G rail radio system GSM-R is planned to be migrated to the 5G standard FRMCS across Europe by 2035. To effectively address future needs of rail and mobile networks, the GINT project is developing innovative corridor approaches with trackside masts equipped with stateof-the-art mobile radio technology which are being tested on a trial track. The basic idea of the approach is to install small masts at a close distance directly along the track using innovative methods, ensuring both speed and sustainability. These towers will provide coverage for the forthcoming 5G rail radio FRMCS and public mobile networks, thereby improving longterm mobile connectivity for the rail industry and its passengers.

ARCUSAFLEX® coupling with electromagnetic clutch. Image: ©Dipl.-Ing. Herwarth Reich GmbH

Track construction machines. Image: ©Plasser & Theurer 2022

The particular advantage of combining the ARCUSAFLEX® rubber disc coupling with an electromagnetic clutch is that it enables the diesel engine and generator to be separated in a compact, lightweight design.

The installed highly flexible rubber disc coupling ARCUSAFLEX® protects the drive components with its high damping capacity for system-related vibrations and compensates for misalignments between the diesel engine and generator.

The special feature: An additional mechanical emergency actuation has been integrated into the rubber disc coupling so that it can also be operated without power in an emergency. A machine standstill in these types of applications would result in massive logistical delays and therefore huge consequential costs for the railway operator.

The combination of the beforementioned features allows that on top of the standard shunting tasks of up to 200 tonnes, special tasks can be handled, such as the safe movement of bogies under wagons. The vehicle has been developed as part of a funding project aimed at automated driving of the ROTRAC E1.

Achieving reliability with a deep learning algorithm

How much buffer, or slack, or layover to plan between each trip when creating schedules? While tighter schedules are cost effective on paper, delays can cause a cascade effect, which will make the schedule unreliable and very expensive to operate. GIRO has developed a solution using AI techniques. In a co-innovation project with a client, complete network's worth of data has been fed into their deep learning algorithm. It learned what factors influence punctuality over the whole network, under all possible conditions, and proposed layover values for each trip in the same schedule. The result was perfect reliability, operated at a lower cost. With this AI-based innovation, GIRO’s HASTUS software can help to create schedules that are even more cost effective, both on paper and in real life.

CoPLa-Luber system installed on maintenance vehicle. Image: ©GRUPO TÉCNICO RIVI S.L. 2024

Both catenary overhead powerline and pantograph bars of rail vehicles suffer wear due to friction, requiring its repair or replacement. The CoPLa-Luber system applies a consistent fluid to the wire’s underside to reduce friction and to extend its lifespan. It also prevents “ice sleeve” issues due to waterrepellent properties of the fluid. CoPLa-Luber detects the powerline wire’s position while the vehicle runs and precisely doses fluid, self-regulating the flow rate based on vehicle speed and settings for even application. The system houses monitoring and control and it’s suitable for heavy and consistent fluids. It operates normally under High Voltage (25000 VAC) with leakage current as low as 0.1 V. CoPLa-Luber is compatible with conventional and high-speed railways.

HBK’s Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) pantograph monitoring system. Image: ©HBK

The correct contact between the pantograph and the overhead line is mandatory for efficient train operation. Hottinger Brüel & Kjær (HBK) has introduced its Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) pantograph monitoring system to help railway engineers monitor forces and accelerations under high voltage in a train’s pantograph structure. The system provides safe, continuous measurements via its fiber optic sensors and issues instant alerts if a critical condition is detected, which can prevent unexpected delays or system shutdown. As a passive element with a measurement principle based on light, the optical sensor is ideal for this task, as the main requirement for overhead line and pantograph monitoring are accurate measurements within a high-voltage level (15 kV - 25 kV). The FBG system also ensures compliance with EN 50317.

IFE ZeroStepBoarding for long distance train travel makes it easier for passengers to board trains.

For those traveling in wheelchairs, or burdened with strollers or heavy suitcases, the difficulty of boarding a long-distance train is one of the most stressful aspects of the entire journey. Knorr-Bremse GmbH Division IFE has solved the problem by creating an almost stepless train entrance system less than six millimeters high. In terms of design, train entrances have always represented a major challenge: The brushes and seals that protect passenger cars from contamination and external pressure impose tight constraints. The IFE solution is based on two brilliant ideas. First, the developers replaced the brushes with a walk-on, ramp-shaped scraper. And second, the new sealing system is designed in such a way that despite the sloping ramp, it still builds up sufficient pressure to seal the train against the pressure waves created whenever trains pass each other or enter tunnels – and does so without using a secondary, counterposed seal. The IFE ZeroStepBoarding solution for high-speed trains is able to resist pressures of up to 6 kPa.

Recognise, classify and locate damage. Images: ©Lenord+Bauer

The GEL 2475FD flat spot detector from Lenord+Bauer has integrated detection of periodic impact loads. This makesit possible to detect, classify and locate wheel defects and clearly distinguish them from damage to the track infrastructure. Noise emissions can be efficiently reduced through targeted maintenance measures. A flat spot is signaled by means of analog HTL signals. The detector also supplies classic speed signals so that existing pick-up sensors can be easily replaced. The systems are internally galvanically isolated from each other and non-interacting. The classification of flat spots into different degrees of severity helps with early detection. The warning thresholds can be customised depending on the installation location and intensity of the flat spots. Maintenance measures and workshop visits can be better planned, and consequential damage avoided.

Sensor network module installed at contact wire. Image: ©METUSAN FUTURE GmbH

Infrastructure operators of railway lines with overhead contact lines has to recognise critical conditions instantly to carry out inspections or repairs in good time. To do this, they also require complete visual observations in areas of platforms and level crossings. The sensor network modules developed by METUSAN FUTURE GmbH, which are attached directly to the contact or messenger wire, meet this strategic objective. These modules work in AC and DC overhead lines, supply themselves with electrical energy and send the measurement and image data recorded by sensors via a radio interface to a data server, which analyses the data. The infrastructure operator thus receives information about critical conditions such as rope and wire rupture, contact wire wear, icing, vibrations and complete image data along the route. The sensors can be installed during overhead line assembly and maintenance or, in the future, with robotic drones.

Function overview TrainOptimizer® software

The TrainOptimizer® software from netwiss is used to easily create vehicle layouts (without prior technical or CAD knowledge) and to check the layouts with regard to passenger changeover time, luggage stowage and effective seat usability. These are key factors influencing the efficiency of the vehicles. With a well-chosen layout, the seat occupancy rate can be increased by up to 20% and the passenger changeover time reduced by up to 70%. Among other things, this leads to potential energy savings of up to 20%, as it is not necessary to run at full speed and the timetable can still be on time. At the same time, punctuality and operational quality are significantly improved. netwiss now presents the new functions for the very simple and fast creation of vehicle layouts.

RC2 wall mount enclosure

Advanced EMC EuropacPRO

Railway digitisation is often associated with data being passed through the cloud and the cyber threat assumed to be the potential for attack on these digital networks. But there is a physical aspect that doesn’t get as much attention. At the heart of cybersecurity is physical security. Physical security requirements such as RC2 are becoming more common, especially for wayside applications where the critical systems are more exposed and distributed within the railway environment. Another physical protection consideration is electromagnetic shielding. The railway environment is becoming denser with various sensitive electronic systems that must not interfere with one another. Higher levels of shielding can help prevent unintended interference. Increasing levels of physical security at the enclosure level help ensure digital rail applications run reliably now and into the future.

Vibration test of a pantograph

Requirements for pantographs for mainline rail vehicles have evolved. Whereas the test requirements of DIN EN 61373 used to be sufficient, suppliers now require testing in accordance with IEC 60494-1. The main difference is that the type test in accordance with IEC 60494-1 is carried out as a so-called fixed frequency test. This involves determining the natural frequency of the current collector in the transverse direction, followed by 107 load test cycles. After these cycles, the current collector must not exhibit any damage that would impair its functionality in accordance with the operational tests in sections 6.3.1 and 6.3.2. PHOENIX TESTLAB GmbH, a certified testing service provider, can successfully carry out this demanding load test on the laboratory's vibration test systems.

PTV Visum for public transport service planning

PTV Visum finds attractive public transport service with minimised costs

The aim of public transport network design is to create a public transport service that is as attractive as possible for passengers while minimising costs for the operator. An algorithmic solution to this optimisation problem is available for the first time in a standard transport planning product. In PTV Visum, the planner models the public transport infrastructure and depict the desired demand. An adjustable objective function defines the weight of the operating costs, the number of vehicles, but also the costs for additional journey time and transfers. The algorithm forms a pool of possible routes and picks various network concepts with adequate service headways. It uses a new method that allows targeted optimisation and drastically reduces the run time.

Efficient anti-graffiti film with protective layer: a cost-effective innovation. Image: ©Qingdao

A high-performance anti-graffiti film protects the glass of public transportation windows and doors for vandalism. However, cross-operations during production and assembly can damage the film. By applying an optical protective film with hard-coating resin during production, the main film is shielded from damage. Additionally, during transportation and construction, the protective film's adhesive layer does not react with the anti-graffiti coating.

This film is also widely used in the screen door industry, allowing glass suction cups to be used without concerns about insufficient suction. Removing the protective film before the final phase eliminates the need for cleaning, enhancing efficiency and reducing losses.

CLIPS systems using a removable elastic special nose. Image: ©Asecom Rails

The new clips developed by Rail Europe Solutions (RES) and Asecom Rails are manufactured in France in quality steel using a special forging process. This gives them a strength that cannot be achieved by casting. In the case of wear, only the specially designed elastomer nose needs to be replaced and not the entire part. The thickness of the elastomer nose can be adapted to your application to make altimeter corrections of the rails of the crane track. Manufacturing costs, delivery times and costs can thus be reduced. The design and quality allow RES and Asecom Rail to off er the clips for sensitive applications, such as rail tracks of heavy gantry cranes and mobile buildings in military and commercial ports, steel production plants, overhead cranes for nuclear waste storage plants, and overhead cranes for turbine manufacturing plants.

The new HDS/F filling trolley

With the new developed HDS/F filling trolley REBS Zentralschmiertechnik the lubricant reservoirs of wheel flange and rail head treatment systems can be filled safely and reliably. The pneumatic driven HDSF filling trolley has a capacity of 50 litres and delivers the lubricant using a powerful pump. The outstanding feature of this model is the built-in, pneumatically driven agitator, which stirs up the lubricant before it is transferred. Modern, highly complex lubricants often contain solids that can accumulate on the bottom of the container over time. With the HDS/F, manual agitation of the lubricants to prevent increased solids concentration at the pump suction is a thing of the past.

RORUNNER E³ for emission-free work in tunnels. Image: ©Robel

RORUNNER E³ is the first Robel track vehicle that operates almost emission-free and therefore contributes to a noticeable improvement in environmental and working conditions in tunnels: The site approach is carried out by pantograph via the 3rd rail, a battery storage unit supplies the energy for work travel and crane operation, the additional diesel generator serves only as a backup. The four-axle multifunctional vehicles take on transportation and traction tasks, taking into account ramps with the steepest gradients. There are no turning facilities in most subway networks. To save time and optimise work processes, the new RORUNNERs are therefore designed for bidirectional operation with a crane at the front of each vehicle and a loading area at platform level on both sides. Find these and other solutions for the maintenance of urban infrastructure at the InnoTrans outdoor area.

Washable anti-graffiti shield

Schleswiger Tauwerkfabrik Oellerking GmbH is a leading manufacturer and supplier of tarpaulin solutions and sliding roof systems in freight wagon sector. Now they are introducing the washable anti-graffiti inscription shield. Hood wagons are always popular open spaces for graffiti sprayers. Once they are in action, operating the wagon is no longer permitted. Follow-up costs for repairs add up. The innovation pays off both ecologically and commercially: The label board as part of the tarpaulin can be easily cleaned on site, the graffiti can be removed. The same surface can be cleaned around 20 times without any problems. No sandblasting, no re-labeling, no dismantling and reassembly of the inscription shield is needed. Freight wagons no longer need to be returned to the workshop. By eliminating the metal plates, acquisition costs and weight (‘Shimmns light’) are saved. Existing wagons can also be equipped with washable anti-graffiti inscription shield.

IOP fire protection enclosure. Image: ©Swibox AG

IOP fire protection cabinet. Image: ©Swibox AG

Today, the majority of fire protection cabinets used in tunnel construction for fire load insulation and functional integrity are made of plasterboard-based materials. To protect the plaster-boards from moisture and mold growth, the cabinets must be encased in stainless steel. With the cement-bonded material we use, this complex construction can be simplified considerably. These boards meet the fire protection specifications and cover all the requirements that tunnel construction places on fire protection cabinets today, as they are frost, water, and weather resistant. Plasterboard has a relatively high proportion of bound crystal water, which is released as water vapor at temperatures above 163 °C (in the event of fire). For electronic components, water vapor represents a very high load and can lead to failures. Our solution does not have this problem.

Original inventory of obsolete technology. Image: ©TEQPORT Services GmbH

Cable dismantling in the tunnel. Image: ©TEQPORT Services GmbH

Rail infrastructure operators need to increase track capacity and modernise outdated technology to do so. The signalling technology in particular is modernised during ongoing operations so that the old technology that has become obsolete cannot be dismantled at the same time. The consequence: The technology and thus urgently needed secondary raw materials remain in the infrastructure and become part of the “urban mine”. TEQPORT has set itself the task of dismantling this urban mine and, through efficient project management, recovering the secondary raw materials and making them available to the cycle again. This not only generates extraordinary revenues for the infrastructure operator, but also creates space for new things, minimises fire risks and generates a sustainable impact through the local production of secondary raw materials.

MPV®-VentuS® typ GAF train, vehicle concept with over 50 different modules. © WINDHOFF GmbH

The MPV®-VentuS® rail vehicle family is based on a platform strategy that takes into account the most diverse requirements for construction and maintenance vehicles in Europe. The technical realisation is based on a modular platform that is unique in this level of detail. Through targeted module selection, TSI-approved vehicles are configured that are optimally adapted to the customer's work tasks. This applies equally to the selection of work modules (e.g. cranes and platforms) and drive concepts (e.g. electric drive). The future-proof concept of the MPV®-VentuS® offers the possibility of adapting the vehicle configuration to current requirements, such as technological innovations, regulatory changes or new work tasks, over the course of its life cycle thanks to its consistent modular design.

Flexibility of the cable duct line in both directions: Cable Duct 15° curved segment

Since the release of the new generation of Wirthwein plastic cable ducts for permanent installation, many projects have benefited from the much faster installation of the cable duct system. The portfolio is now expanded by a new 'curved segment' to make installation even easier and more flexible in future. With the Cable Duct 15° curved segment, the cable duct section can be deflected in 15-degree increments and can be used regardless of the installation direction. Intermediate plugs are used for connection, allowing it to be used on both sides. As a result, the direction can be changed from 15 to 90 degrees to the left or right with just one element, which greatly reduces the work involved in deflections from the planning phase through to installation. 22 production sites worldwide ensure short distances to international construction sites.

On-site installation

The fastener load measurement system developed by Tiantie Group uses the direct method principle. There are some load sensors built into the force measuring pad. The measured fastener load data can provide a basis for the design optimisation of the fastener structure and its components and provide a reference for the operation status monitoring of the wheel-rail system. Its application includes fastener load amplitude measurement, measurement of the longitudinal and transverse distribution of multiple groups of fastener loads; measurement and evaluation of the difference in load between inner and outer fasteners in curved sections and evaluation of rail corrugation and defects such as out-of-round and flattened wheels.

Field component warning device ZPW-G2.0

Functional principle of the signal-controlled warning system (SCWS)

The protection of employees, on track worksites, is essential and must be planned on a measure related basis. The ZPW-G 2.0 (ZÖLLNER Personnel Warning Device GSMR) is an innovative warning device that is controlled via GSM-R using information from the interlocking. It has the choice of “WARNING” or “PROTECTING” operating modes and therefore offering optimum solutions for protecting employees on the worksite. While it is usually sufficient to warn against train movements on adjacent tracks on smaller worksites, the additional risks on more complex worksites can be reduced by using the train restraint. Train movements are only allowed once the danger zone has been cleared and all employees on the worksite have entered the safe area. The ZPW-G can control other radio and cable-based warning devices or a machine's own warning system via its interfaces.
