Real-time rail temperature & GPS speed sensing
Apollo RailTemp Track Temperature Sensing System
Rail temperature monitoring for safer slow-order decisions
The Gap
Without rail-level temperature monitoring, operators often rely on ambient temperature as a proxy, which may not reflect actual track conditions. Excessive rail heat can contribute to expansion, buckling risk, and slow orders, while extreme cold can increase rail fracture risk.
Apollo RailTemp is a track temperature sensing system that addresses this gap through continuous rail temperature measurement, GPS-linked positioning, and in-cab alerts, helping rail operators and maintenance teams make more informed slow-order decisions and improve thermal risk visibility.
Real-Time Track Intelligence
Give operators and maintenance teams rail-level temperature data to support slow-order decisions, corridor monitoring, and earlier response to heat or cold-related risk.
Live in-cab insights
Display rail temperature and speed data directly to the operator for timely response
Pinpoint positioning
Link temperature readings to locations for corridor-level thermal risk visibility
Speed optimization
Support slow-order decisions using measured rail temperature instead of ambient estimates alone
Built for Data-Driven Thermal Risk Assessment
Bring rail temperature, GPS-linked speed, and alert context together in a rugged onboard unit designed for immediate operator decisions.
