🚊 From Reactive to Predictive Maintenance in Rail Transport! ➡️ How can changes in the rail infrastructure be detected before they lead to disruptions?

👉 This was precisely the challenge ProRail, the Dutch rail infrastructure manager, set out to solve. A measurement system originally put out to bid did not meet the requirements—the project was discontinued after several years of development.

💡 Together with Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS), the country’s largest passenger rail operator, ProRail developed RaM 2.0—a scalable measurement platform deployed directly on regular passenger trains. Instead of relying on dedicated measurement trains, sensor data is collected continuously during normal passenger operations.

Equipped with antennas and GNSS receivers, accelerometers and gyroscopes, the trains continuously monitor the condition of the railway infrastructure while remaining in daily service.

🔵 The added value is clear:
🟠 Early detection of infrastructure changes
🟠 Fewer unplanned disruptions
🟠 Higher network availability
🟠 The foundation for efficient predictive maintenance

🎉 We are proud that ANavS contributes to this forward-looking collaboration between ProRail and NS by supplying the GNSS receivers and antennas. Precise positioning is essential for transforming sensor data into reliable maintenance insights.

🎯 More data. Earlier insights. Higher availability.
