Underground railways have been in existence since the mid 1860s and serve many of the world’s major cities. Metros are usually the safest transport mode in the city in which they operate. New technologies and monitoring techniques enable metros not only to identify the conditions and events most likely to cause serious breakwdowns or injuries but also to invest in measures to prevent the events from happening or to mitigate their consequences.
Railway safety is looking for precise tools to be able to reduce the accident rate and offer a more reliable service. Some of the data most in demand by the railway's safety departments are the Log Driving modes, speed journey's tracking and railtrack condition. These data helps to strive to reduce the risks associated with rail-wheel interaction. DAVANA offers different solutions, some of them onboard, to monitor railtrack condition.
