We are Austria’s largest Research and Technology Organisation (RTO) and an international key player in the research areas we cover. This makes us a leading development partner for the industry and a top employer within the international scientific community enabling the market exploitation of innovative infrastructure solutions. AIT offers an infrastructure-based sensor system fiberRAIL® that uses the existing fiber-optic cable network as a sensor. No further track-side installations are necessary! Functionalities: • Seamless, permanent and accurate train tracking provides position and speed data in real-time. This facilitates precise predictions of train arrival or delays. BENEFIT: Significant cost reduction for infrastructure operators! • Warnings on hazards in real-time allow immediate reaction to severe flat-spots, broken rails, partial derailments and lost waggons. BENEFIT: Enhanced safety!
