Track Geometry Measurement System Market Analysis

Multiple regulations and standards govern the railway industry, and in order to comply with them, a track geometry measurement system is required. The growing demand for safety and security in railway transportation, as well as the expansion of railway networks and metro lines, are key drivers of industry growth. Numerous mishaps and accidents involving trains have raised global concerns, encouraging governments to digitize the mode of transportation to ensure a safer journey. Furthermore, increased demand for smart technologies to maintain track operational efficiency is driving track geometry measurement system market growth.

Track Geometry Measurement System Market Overview

In the rail industry, the track geometry measurement system is the most crucial technique for evaluating track safety and maintenance scheduling. Routinely measuring and evaluating track geometry helps to avoid track-related derailments, which can cause disastrous damage. Track geometry conditions are a major cause of vehicle/track interaction derailments, such as spreading gage (gauge), wheel climb, and rail rollover derailments. Track geometry conditions can also cause broken rails, broken fasteners, and thermal misalignment derailments. The track geometry measurement system provides the critical capability of ensuring that the track geometry condition is within acceptable limits for safe operations.
