PhotonFirst is proud to announce a new collaboration with ProRail in their journey of discovering the options and innovations in managing and monitoring assets under challenging circumstances.
Together with PhotonFirst ProRail will setup a one-off project to investigate the possibilities of implementing Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) shape sensing technology for railway switches.
With this project ProRail will collect high-frequency and high-quality data of the dynamic behaviour of switch components under the load of passing trains.
In the next few months the project will be installed. Stay tuned for more information!
