Method, backend cloud service, track-bound apparatus and computerized system for railway network assessment

Abstract

A method implemented by a backend cloud service for assessing a track portion in a railway network is provided. The method may involve obtaining a plurality of railway measurement sets from a track-bound apparatus. The track-bound apparatus may include a plurality of sensors and a mechanical interface to a track-bound vehicle adapted to traverse the track portion. Each railway measurement set may include a mapping between a sensing location in the railway network and railway measurements of the track portion sensed by the sensors at the sensing location during a traversal by the track-bound vehicle. The railway measurement sets may be processed to generate a track profile of the track portion. A report may be generated on the track profile indicating the presence of one or more track faults along the track portion.
