If the PMU sensors can replace permanent sensors on bridges, it means that continuous real-time monitoring of bridges can be achieved, instead of sending an inspector out once a year. Bridges can then be kept in better condition and have a longer lifespan at a lower cost. A big saving for society.
Raid Karoumi, Professor of Bridge Engineering at KTH
Our patented technology has many different applications, in many different industries. The fact that we are now testing our sensor technology for monitoring bridges opens an additional business area.
Jan Lindqvist, CEO of Railway Metrics and Dynamics
"The PoC prove how easy it is to scale our platform on a global level. We use the same components, IT-solutions and work processes in Africa as we do in Europe."

Smart Bolts with Temperature Sensors for SSAB

Since the beginning of the year, Väte Trafik has been handling the shunting of SSAB’s steel trains in Borlänge and Oxelösund. This is Väte Trafik’s largest assignment to date, and four fully modernized SM42-6Dg locomotives have been leased to carry out the work. Railway Metrics and Dynamics is now equipping the locomotives with PMUs and smart bolts.RMD Developing Fully Approved SystemThe locomotives are currently used exclusively for shunting, but there is also interest in getting them approved for mainline operations. To enable that, improved hotbox detection is needed for the wheel axle

RMD's railway cameras on Wascosa's new ballast wagon

Swiss freight wagon supplier Wascosa has developed a fully automated ballast wagon for use in Europe's growing railway construction projects. In a unique pilot project, Railway Metrics and Dynamic's (RMD) railway cameras are now being used to optimise the amount of ballast used.In 2017, Wascosa bought 197 Fanps wagons to consolidate its position in the market for transporting ballast and other aggregates for infrastructure projects and large construction sites. However, the company soon began exploring new and more innovative applications for these wagons.   "The reason for investing

Railway Metrics and Dynamics’ PMU sensor used in new research study at KTH

Sensor monitoring of railway bridges can save society a lot of money. Researchers at KTH are now investigating whether sensors from Railway Metrics and Dynamics can provide the same results as permanently mounted sensors – at a fraction of the cost.Sensor monitoring of railway bridges allows real-time monitoring of the condition of bridges, enabling timely maintenance to maximise their lifespan. The problem is that a complete fixed sensor system costs between SEK 100 000 and 200 000 per bridge. On the Botnia line between Uusimaa and Umeå, to give an example, there are 147 railway bridges.
