Track Inspection - Rail Profile Measurement System -RPMS

ENSCO is recognized around the world as a leader in the supply of track evaluation systems. The track measurement systems are based on a modular approach and scalable architecture to support a variety of measurement and imaging systems on a track recording vehicle. The track inspection systems can be built into a new custom track inspection vehicle in cooperation with U.S. and European manufacturers, or retrofitted into an existing vehicle.

The ENSCO transverse Rail Profile Measurement System (RPMS) is a high-performance system that can measure transverse rail profile, rail wear, and rail cant in real time at a one-foot sample rate up to the maximum speed of the car. Parameters such as rail wear and cant can be displayed alongside track geometry data in real time. The system also detects rail cant and rail wear exceptions in real time. The ENSCO rail profile system has a very high rate of successful automatic rail size recognition, minimizing the need for rail profile post processing.
