MRT Holdings releases new track geometry and remote sign systems
ROLLING MEADOWS, Ill. - MRT Holdings, a new company presented at Railway Interchange 2017 and APTA EXPO 2017 by rail technology supplier Metrom Rail, has introduced two new systems designed to help freight railroads and transit agencies improve track geometry inspection operations and work-zone sign management.
The MRT Holdings Track Geometry System allows customers to take control of their inspection processes through a simple, cost-effective platform designed for mass deployment on any vehicle. The system features modular hardware, wireless sensors and a modern software utility, all of which make it easier for railways to perform inspections and automatically transmit reports to a back-office utility. The use of state-of-the-art inertial guidance technology eliminates the need for bulky sensors inside vehicles. Further, the use of a wireless tablet simplifies the interface compared to industry alternatives.
The Remote Sign System is a two-piece product that can be deployed quickly to reflect work zones or other protected areas of track. The system frees users from having to manually raise and lower signs on a daily basis. Additionally, users can monitor the real-time status of all deployed signs remotely through a web-based utility.
The MRT Holdings Track Geometry System and Remote Sign System will be on display in booth 2021 at Railway Interchange and in booth 7233 at the APTA EXPO.
