To improve passenger services in Sydney, Sydney Trains have engaged ERTMS Solutions to deliver the TrackCircuitLifeCheck. With the TrackCircuitLifeCheck mounted on one of the Mermec Roger 800 MTP vehicles, it will cover the network every eight weeks. This testing frequency will assist predictive maintenance of track circuits to prevent delay causing failures and aid in maintaining their timetable goals.
The TrackCircuitLifeCheck is a track circuit measurement instrument to be installed on diagnostic (or commercial) trains, performing an automatic diagnose of AC and DC track circuits and ensuring the possibility to implement a preventive maintenance strategy, based on multi-data of the same track circuit in time and deviation analysis.
