AIT corner reflector for satellite-based bridge monitoring

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.

ARCUSAFLEX® coupling with electromagnetic clutch

Track construction machines

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.

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.

Efficient anti-graffiti film with protective layer: a cost-effective innovation

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.

Production - from hot rooling to cooling process

Standard green steel rail

Because more carbon dioxide is released annually by human activities than can be broken down by natural processes, the carbon dioxide content in the earth's atmosphere is rising continuously. This is leading to ever-increasing economic and ecological challenges worldwide. Saarstahl Rail has developed a sustainable product alternative for passenger and freight transport: Green Rail. The company will be presenting environmentally friendly rail at InnoTrans 2024. The production is already part of a sustainable circular economy system: Recycled chemical waste is melted into blooms in an electric arc furnace and then rolled into rails. Compared to conventional rail steel, which is produced in the blast furnace route, this production process reduces CO2 emissions by up to 70% overall.

This enables operators to detect and localise wear or damage at an early stage and to take targeted measures. The interactive web app, which visualises the automatically evaluated data, provides a basis for decision-making. The evaluation uses learning algorithms to adapt to the conditions. This allows users to further train the system through feedback and improve accuracy and reliability.

With the sensor-based monitoring system, transport companies and infrastructure operators can implement predictive maintenance that reduces costs, avoids breakdowns and increases the efficiency of rail traffic.

Decentralised and close to consumption: photovoltaic inverter PV2Rail. Photo: Smart Railway

PV2Rail is a photovoltaic inverter designed to feed directly into the single-phase 16.7 Hz or 50 Hz traction power network. This inverter enables the direct utilisation of renewable energies in the immediate environment of railway lines without having to take the costly and less energy efficient diversions via the three-phase 50 Hz power grid. PV2Rail is therefore a close to consumption and energy and cost-efficient solution. The compact photovoltaic inverter has a rated output of 100 kW and fulfils all relevant norms and standards. This ensures that the device can be quickly, easily, and reliably integrated into existing infrastructures.

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.

Conceptual schematic of the BOOST topology

Simplified electrical schematic of the converter.

The Sécheron EFFICIENT-BOOST is a robust, simple and cost- effective technology for implementing fully reversible and controlled DC traction power system. It consists of a diode rectifier parallel to an IGBT inverter, which injects reactive power to indirectly control the output DC voltage. This solution can mitigate many of the typical problems of DC traction power system, such as excessive voltage drops and losses, and excessive reactive power consumption, while also recovering braking energy.
