    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 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
