High-resolution Track Imaging Inspection
ENSCO’s Virtual Track Walk® (VTW) software allows users to inspect high-resolution track images in the office. A key feature is the ability to view synchronized images from multiple inspection cameras along with location information.
When using VTW to inspect track, built-in tools allow users to mark defects and identify track assets. The software automatically tags these with location information (milepost, kilometer post, GPS coordinates). Users can also export identified defects and assets to CSV reports.
VTW can be used for conducting visual track inspection and tie grading in the office. With the imaging systems' complete views and GeoEdit 8 PLUS to view corresponding measurement data, such as from the Track Geometry Measurement System (TGMS), track inspectors can make thorough and accurate inspections without fouling the track.
VTW is also a valuable resource for producing asset inventory registers utilizing imagery. Through VTW, users can identify various asset features, as shown below. Exported information includes point and linear asset information that can be used for various purposes, including Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software.
- Rail branding with rail type, year rolled, and manufacturer
- Fastener type
