OLErt Overhead Line Equipment Monitoring in Real-Time

Incremental Solutions Stand: M99N

OLErt – Real-Time Overhead Line Monitoring
OLErt is a smart monitoring system that tracks the condition of overhead line equipment in real time using onboard cameras and advanced analytics. It detects issues like wear, pan flips, contact force problems, and vegetation—helping rail teams act early, reduce disruptions, and prevent costly dewirements.

Why OLErt is Better Than Traditional OLE Monitoring Systems:

Runs on in-service passenger trains - No need for costly, dedicated inspection vehicles.

🔁 Continuous, real-time monitoring - Not limited to periodic checks; issues are detected as they develop.

🎯 Precise issue detection – Identifies contact force problems, pantograph flips, height/stagger deviations, and vegetation risks.

🧠 Advanced analytics – Combines machine learning and visual measurement algorithms developed with Oxford University.

📍 Accurate location data – GPS integration ensures precise fault location for faster response.

📡 Real-time alerts – Instant notifications enable timely, preventative maintenance.

🛠 Supports smarter, proactive maintenance – Reduces emergency callouts and costly reactive repairs.

💷 Cost-effective and scalable – Lower operational costs and suitable for wide deployment across fleets.

🔒 Improves safety and reliability – Helps prevent serious incidents like dewirements, protecting both infrastructure and passengers.
