Boggi strengthens the university's test environment for railways

In a new project on digitized state control of railway switches vibrations that occur when trains pass a railway switch are measured wirelessly to detect wear and damage in the railway switch. With this knowledge, preventative maintenance can be more effective.

Digitized control for future railway switches

With a large number of sensors and the collection of large amounts of data, researchers at Luleå University of Technology will, using smart algorithms, produce more reliable analyzes for the health of railway switches. This technology aims to find a method for more efficient maintenance and less interruptions and delays, which costs society a lot of money today.

Big Data becomes difficult to analyse

Today for many processes, companies collect a multitude of measurements at high frequencies, which in some cases may not be necessary or relevant yet result in large amounts of data that is challenging to analyse. The problem is ever expanding and the companies need novel methods to achieve better understanding of their complex processes. This is the main focus in a research project at Luleå University of Technology.
