Holland: Locomotive Unattended Geometry Measurement System (UGMS)

Holland

Holland offers an autonomous track geometry and rail profile solution, UGMS, the lowest-cost track measurement technology without compromising quality. Due to Argus’ compact, lightweight, and low-power features, Holland can enhance revenue-service freight and passenger locomotives with track geometry and rail profile measurement capability. In addition, our Portable Inspection systems which are used by hi-rail vehicles, can be operated autonomously. UGMS allows track measurement at track speed, under an operational load environment, and without any track time demand under revenue service locomotives and railcars. UGMS systems deliver the following data to customer’s on-premise or cloud servers with the format and frequency they provide:-Foot-by-foot located track geometry measurements-Up to three different level of track geometry exceptions/defects, such as red, orange and yellow on designated measurements,-Near-real time track geometry exception notifications to the designated personnel via email or text,-Processed rail profile measurements by Rangecam algorithms to provide;-Rail cant angle-Rail weight / size-Vertical and gauge face wear-Total wear or loss area-Rail head slope-Gauge face angle-Base-to-height ratio
