General information
- Short Summary
- A Berlin-based company, specialized in optimizing train pantograph and overhead contact line operation and maintenance through their own developed real time monitoring hardware and their own developed simulation model, is looking for business and technology partners to expand to new markets, especially in Central and Eastern Europe. Potential partners can be investors, hardware suppliers, production and project implementers or independent consultancy firms.
- Full Description
-
The Berlin-based company specializes in optimizing train pantograph and overhead contact line operation and maintenance through two vital components:
1- Cutting-edge monitoring hardware for real-time data collection on pantograph-overhead line interaction.
2- Our proprietary simulation model, generating synthetic datasets to train advanced algorithms that simulate intricate interactions.
This fusion of actual and synthetic data enables predictive insights for proactive maintenance and cost-efficiency. Customized solutions further provide accurate, timely guidance for enhanced pantograph and catenary performance.
Simulation:
The company has developed a simulation as a service platform that can generate and solve the governed differential equation of any type of catenary and pantograph. The solution methods are neither FEM nor FDM, but Analytical solution.
Monitoring:
The developed system is a combination of hardware and software which are designed to install on the train’s pantograph. The product collects data (acceleration, temperature, location, and features of the video/video per customer’s request) from pantograph and catenary and sends to the server. The collected data will be analyzed via Machine Learning algorithms. Later, the system can estimate the trend of damages and predict the maintenance plan for pantograph and catenary utilizing these analytics. The main service of this business is the monitoring reports and predictive maintenance plan for both pantograph and catenary. Based on the results of this product, the train operator will be aware of the best time of repairing of the pantograph or replacement of its components. The infrastructure manager will be aware of the quality of infrastructure and also the optimum maintenance plan (time and type of maintenance operation).
Predictive Maintenance:
The company’s data “hunter” is hardware and sensors installed on numerous of trains and collecting data from them. The data “farmer” is a simulation software based on the mathematic model of the train which can simulate the running train. In the next step our analysis chef that process the data with machine learning. In the end, the output will be the live reports plus maintenance plan for the infrastructure manager and train operator.
The mentioned product and services can also be used on electric highways and hybrid city busses. - Advantages and Innovations
