Trainborne solutions

DMA offers a wide array of Trainborne solutions, all fully compliant with global norms and standards.

DMA-designed for reliable life cycle and industry-leading reliability with innovative technology specifically created for railway applications.

The TCMS features a single measurement instrument for both switch and track geometry, automatic localization, and a data management solution in one system. For stations and yards that have hundreds of switches, the DMA-designed automatic localization feature is essential. The TCMS replaces manual tests, providing measurements under load and yielding a permanent record.

DMA’s Track Geometry Measurement System (TGMS) combines rail profile and track geometry systems, efficiently and accurately recording both measurements with one instrument.  DMA-designed for longevity and low maintenance with compact dimensions for easy installation.

DMA’s Rail Profile Measurement System (RPMS) monitors rail profile and wear with compact dimensions for easy installation on most bogies and trains in regular revenue service. The RPMS delivers the high accuracy required for rail grinding applications.

DMA’s Track Component Video Inspection System (TCVIS) automatically recognizes missing or misaligned track components including fasteners and bolts, damaged joint bars (fish plates), and more. Modular and flexible, the TCVIS can be configured to inspect the rail top, rail features, rail and track components, and other items specific to a customer’s track infrastructure. The TCVIS can link with other measurement systems for data synergies and immediate visual track component information in areas of interest, such as defects. DMA-designed linear camera performs real-time image compression. Features a small footprint and operates using standard IP CAT6 eliminating the need for complex connections.

DMA’s Driver’s View Video (DVV) collects digital images of the track for visual review and analysis of safety conditions, detected exceptions, accident investigations, and inspection planning.  The DVV can operate in stand-alone mode or as an integrated component of a track inspection system.  When used with measurement systems, visual location information is linked to measurement data, providing users immediate access to visual location information on sites of interest, such as a defect location. This reduces the need for on-site visits and helps in maintenance planning.

Catenary Measurements: DMA’s Overhead Catenary Video (OHC/OHE/OCS/OHV) records images of the pantograph riding on the catenary wire including location markers.  The images can be used in combination with other measurement systems to diagnose problems and analyze pantograph performance, for example the Wire Geometry + Wear (WiGeoW)
DMA’s Wire Geometry + Wear (WiGeoW) is a non-contact system that measures wire height and stagger using laser scanners and high-resolution digital cameras.  The WiGeoW also measures residual wire thickness, identifying wear or damage that can affect the network’s performance.
