Thermal image analysis for catenary monitoring

October 10, 2023

Catenaries or overhead contact lines are critical infrastructures for the safe transit of passengers in railway installations. That is why it is essential to have solutions that can detect possible incidents in the network quickly and efficiently. In this respect, Grekkom offers a real-time thermal image analysis solution called Catenary.

Catenary enables the detection of overheating in catenary components in real time

What is Grekkom’s Catenary video analysis solution?

Catenary is a video analysis solution that uses thermal cameras to detect overheating in catenary components in real time. The solution is based on the detection of thermal anomalies in the image captured by the cameras, allowing the identification of potential hotspots in the catenary network.

Key features of Grekkom Catenary

The following are the five key features of Grekkom’s Catenary video analysis solution:

  • Early detection of incidents: Catenary can detect overheating in catenary components in real time, allowing preventive measures to be taken before major incidents occur.
  • Real-time analysis: Grekkom’s video-analysis solution allows real-time analysis of the thermal image, enabling a rapid response to potential incidents.
  • Integration with management systems: Catenary is easily integrated with railway infrastructure management systems, enabling more efficient management of the catenary network.
  • Reduced costs: Early detection of incidents and more efficient management of the catenary network reduces maintenance and repair costs.
  • Improved safety: Early detection of incidents and more efficient management of the catenary network allows for improved safety for passengers and railway staff.
