Currently several approaches are being discussed for the future of mobility: from air taxis to underground tunnels, to modular modes of transport, to hyperloops. We will analyze how high-speed rail systems operating under low pressure environments have the potential to more efficiently connect cities while reducing the effects of urban sprawl. Prototypes to actually build these systems will be discussed, as well as the need to efficiently integrated these into existing infrastructure in order to achieve both maximal throughput. Nonetheless congestions originates from the fact that over 60% of the available physical space on city roads is underused by empty cars, which have a great effect on pollution. By working towards both a cultural change and a technology revolution, it is possible to efferently solve traffic.

There are some accepted methods of satisfying this need to a certain level. A modern signalling system is one of those measures. While the type of signalling system vary according to the national and international rules, regulations and norms, some of the safety related topics are still in need of improvement. Early detection of broken and damaged rails are one of the most critical topics waiting to be solved effectively.
A new and novel technique, called “RailAcoustic” is one of the most advanced broken and damaged rail detection systems available today. The system is based on generating an acoustic signal at any time and point on the rails and sensing the propagating acoustic signals on both sides of the signal injection point with sensors located at up to 2 Km away and even more. The system utilizes acoustic signals on all axis at the point of sensing. The sensors located on both sides of the faulty rails sense both passing thru and reflected signals. All data coming from these field-distributed sensors are collected and processed together and an accurate conclusion is reached.

Racing a Prototype for Hyperloop: SpaceX Competition Experience to Build Future Sustainable Transport and Other Innovative Approaches to Deliver Sustainable Transport Today

It is well discussed that cities in the future are bound for a great change on how people go from A to B. Currently several approaches are being discussed for the future of mobility: from air taxis to underground tunnels, to modular modes of transport, to hyperloops. We will analyze how high-speed rail systems operating under low pressure environments have the potential to more efficiently connect cities while reducing the effects of urban sprawl.

There are some accepted methods of satisfying this need to a certain level. A modern signalling system is one of those measures. While the type of signalling system vary according to the national and international rules, regulations and norms, some of the safety related topics are still in need of improvement. Early detection of broken and damaged rails are one of the most critical topics waiting to be solved effectively.
A new and novel technique, called “RailAcoustic” is one of the most advanced broken and damaged rail detection systems available today. The system is based on generating an acoustic signal at any time and point on the rails and sensing the propagating acoustic signals on both sides of the signal injection point with sensors located at up to 2 Km away and even more. The system utilizes acoustic signals on all axis at the point of sensing. The sensors located on both sides of the faulty rails sense both passing thru and reflected signals. All data coming from these field-distributed sensors are collected and processed together and an accurate conclusion is reached.

While the type of signalling system vary according to the national and international rules, regulations and norms, some of the safety related topics are still in need of improvement. Early detection of broken and damaged rails are one of the most critical topics waiting to be solved effectively.
A new and novel technique, called “RailAcoustic” is one of the most advanced broken and damaged rail detection systems available today. The system is based on generating an acoustic signal at any time and point on the rails and sensing the propagating acoustic signals on both sides of the signal injection point with sensors located at up to 2 Km away and even more. The system utilizes acoustic signals on all axis at the point of sensing. The sensors located on both sides of the faulty rails sense both passing thru and reflected signals. All data coming from these field-distributed sensors are collected and processed together and an accurate conclusion is reached.

RailAcoustic Broken Rail Detection Systems

One of the most critical requirements for the railway transportation systems is the safety measures to be taken to avoid accidents. There are some accepted methods of satisfying this need to a certain level. A modern signalling system is one of those measures.
