Intelligent Train Undercarriage Scanner (ITUS)®
Provide security personnel with automatic train undercarriage inspection that immediately detects foreign objects, anomalies, and potential maintenance hazards under all environmental conditions.
Technology
Real-time Threat Detection
With ITUS’ automatic foreign object detection, trains pass over the dual-view scanner while two high-resolution, virtual 3-D digital images of each car’s undercarriage create the car’s digital “fingerprint.” Two views make it easier to see any threatening objects that may be hidden on top of an axel or crossbeam. An overview camera captures the normal view of the train and displays this on the high-resolution touch screen.
Highlight Potential Safety and Maintenance Issues
As each car clears the scanning device, our AI-based Automatic Foreign Object Detection software can automatically compare the scanned image to a “safe” rail car image stored in the system database—all in 2-3 seconds. If any threatening foreign objects or modifications to the undercarriage are detected, the system then immediately places a red ring around them AND activates an alarm.
Virtual 3D Imagery
Our proprietary software compares this image to a reference image in the database and displays them both on screen, identifying any foreign objects or modifications to the undercarriage with a red ring and activating an alarm.
