zentrak Intelligent Turnout – Track Quality Monitoring

The vibrations caused by passing trains result in degradation and settling within the ballast layer, leading to alterations in the superstructure's stiffness and increased sleeper movement.

Elevated sleeper displacements, arising from reduced track stiffness or voids within hanging sleepers, significantly amplify dynamic contact forces in turnouts. This, in turn, accelerates mechanical part degradation. Monitoring sleeper displacement and rotation over time facilitates the diagnosis of track (ballast) degradation and predicts critical states to propose necessary actions.
