Project Summary
Rivelin Rail is developing a new means of carrying out
friction measurements of railway track using an on-board
system that allows safe and efficient inspection; reducing
delays and preventing wheel/rail damage.
The system identifies low friction ‘hotspots’ and assesses
whether current rail cleaning management methods
are effective. It reduces the requirement for in-person
inspection, and the numerical data generated will be used to
make more informed decisions on friction management.
