The administrators of the
European railway infrastructure
spend many millions of euros (of
public funds) every year on
repairing the damage caused by
bad conditions on the wheels of
the trains. The existence of
defects in the wheels, however,
implies other significant costs,
such as those associated with
delays caused by incidents and
significant human, material and
economic losses due to
derailments. However, this is
not due to the lack of
maintenance of the railway
operating companies; This is
rather because even small
changes in the condition of the
wheel lead to extensive damage
to the railway infrastructure.
AMINSA has
developed DTD SYSTEM, an
innovative system capable of
accurately detecting defects in
the wheels at the beginning,
using this information to design
a predictive maintenance plan.
The successful execution of
Phase 1 has led to the
definition of a commercial model
to implement the DTD System as a
service and reach the EU market,
establishing strategic alliances
with interested parties, users
and commercial suppliers. Our
general objective in Phase 2 is
to implement advanced
demonstrations of DTD SYSTEM
units in the most complex and
demanding conditions, as well as
to develop the necessary tools
to introduce the DTD system in
the railway market.
