TrackWater

An Internet of Things approach to rail surface water management. TrackWater® from RailSense is a sensor and data-driven product designed to reduce the incidence of flooding on the rail network and improve safety for passengers and operatives. TrackWater includeds IoT sensors and data modelling to better manage and predict the maintenance of railway assets. By proactively managing drainage assets, your maintenance costs, flood events and delay minutes are reduced – improving safety for passengers and operatives. Utilising technologies pioneered on the highways, TrackWater was developed through a consortium including Network Rail, Lancaster University and Connected Places Catapult. It was co-funded by the Department of Transport and Innovate UK. The TrackWater technology has now been adapted to meet the need to manage surface water within rail and reduce the impact of flooding on the network and is Network Rail approved. TrackWater is designed to be user-friendly, with an intuitive interface that makes it easy to monitor the status of drainage assets and predict maintenance needs. By using advanced data analytics, TrackWater can also provide real-time alerts and predictive maintenance recommendations, allowing rail operators to take proactive measures to reduce the impact of flooding on their network.
