Overview

Autonomous track inspection system that mounts advanced sensors and lasers on locomotives to continuously measure track geometry — alignment, gauge, elevation, and curvature — while trains are in motion. Developed and deployed by Norfolk Southern, ATGMS detects potential defects like broken rails and deteriorating ties without requiring dedicated geometry cars, increasing inspection frequency without disrupting operations.
