TrackBed360 – Intelligent 24/7 Monitoring of Track and Substructure
TrackBed360 from Railmonitor is an advanced and modular solution for real-time monitoring of railway tracks and substructure. The system transforms data into actionable insights, enabling early detection of deviations before they develop into operational disruptions or safety risks.
Key Benefits
- Continuous control – 24/7 real-time monitoring in all weather conditions
- Early warnings – advanced alerts based on thresholds, changes, and predictive trends
- Predictive maintenance – identify issues before they occur
- Wireless solution – battery-powered with up to 8–10 years of lifetime
- Modular platform – expandable with temperature, moisture, and groundwater monitoring
- Data-driven decisions – clear insights for faster and safer actions
Advanced Track Behavior Monitoring
TrackBed360 continuously monitors critical parameters affecting track stability and safety, including:
- Track geometry (tilt, twist, cant, bend)
- Settlements and substructure movement
- Void detection – identification of cavities beneath the track during train passage
- Dynamic behavior in real time
The sensors utilize edge computing, meaning data is processed directly within the device for faster and more accurate responses.
Real-Time Data and Intelligent Analytics
All data is automatically transmitted to Railmonitor’s Digital Service Platform, where it is converted into:
- Real-time data and dashboards
- Trend analysis and predictive insights (Foresight Lens)
- Automated alerts (level, sudden change, and forecast-based triggers)
- Reports and documentation (PDF/Excel export)
- Integration with existing systems
This provides a powerful decision-support tool for both infrastructure owners and contractors.
Predictive Monitoring – Stay Ahead
With advanced analytics, TrackBed360 can predict potential issues days in advance, enabling:
- Proactive maintenance planning
- Reduced downtime
- Lower lifecycle costs
- Increased safety for both personnel and traffic
Modular Solution for Complete Insights
TrackBed360 is a flexible platform that can be expanded with additional monitoring modules:
- Rail and air temperature
- Groundwater level
- Moisture in ballast and substructure
- Climate impact and drainage performance
This makes it ideal for complex environments where multiple factors influence track stability.
Ideal for Projects Near Railways
The system is widely used in projects such as:
- Construction near railway tracks
- Excavation and foundation works
- Tunnel and bridge projects
- Slope stabilization
- Areas with settlement or flooding risks
TrackBed360 provides clear documentation proving that construction activities do not compromise railway stability – a key requirement in rail projects.
