Apollo Sense

Mobile, in-service railway track inspection and condition monitoring

The Gap

Traditional track inspections are periodic, resource-intensive, and often require track occupancy or manual field assessments, resulting in delayed insight and fragmented asset records. As rail infrastructure ages and operating conditions become more complex, infrastructure owners need more frequent condition visibility across active corridors.

Apollo Sense addresses this gap by providing continuous, in-service track monitoring and decision support, helping operators and maintenance teams identify anomalies earlier and plan interventions with better field evidence.

In-Service Track Intelligence

Apollo Sense is mounted on in-service rail vehicles to collect live track data, enabling infrastructure teams to monitor condition during normal operations.

Maintenance Planning Support

Tracks rail asset changes over time to help maintenance teams prioritize field review before service impacts

Increase Track Usage

Expands inspection coverage without relying on dedicated inspection vehicles or hi-rail trucks

Integrating Multiple Data Sources

Combines LiDAR, cameras, thermal, remote sensing, and climate data to support corridor-level assessment

Subsurface Condition Visibility

Enables early detection of subsurface issues using onboard ground penetrating radar

Operator-ready Insights

Provides practical alerts and indicators that support operations, engineering, and maintenance decisions

Fleet-Scalable Deployment

Supports deployment from one in-service locomotive to a fleet for scalable network monitoring

Apollo Sense mounted on in-service railway vehicle

Built for In-Service Rail Operations

A compact, rugged enclosure fits under locomotives in a plug-and-play manner and withstands harsh weather conditions while it scans the corridor.

LiDARs

Capture rail geometry and surrounding surfaces in three dimensions.

High Speed Cameras

Image the track and surface conditions at operating speed.

Global Positioning Systems

Geo-locate every reading along the corridor.

Ground Penetrating Radar

Sense subsurface and railbed condition below the track.
