Wireless Rail Track Geometry Monitoring
Safe and efficient rail operations depend on stable track geometry. Remote wireless monitoring helps manage the risk of movement in critical areas, including those affected by nearby construction activity, weather events, or traffic loading.
Use our sensors to monitor a wide range of rail track parameters:
- Cross-level/cant
- Twist
- Slew/buckle
- Settlement/superelevation
- Temperature
- Soil moisture content
Why Choose Senceive for Rail Track Monitoring?
Reliable data, minimal disruption
Senceive wireless monitoring technology delivers precise, near real-time track geometry data for many years, even in challenging trackbed conditions.
Quick, simple installation reduces the need for boots on ballast, lowering risk and improving safety.
Optimise Track Maintenance with Real-Time Insights
- Assess long-term trends to prioritise maintenance programs.
- Detect sudden movement that could represent a safety risk.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of interventions such as tamping or ballast cleaning.
- Determine whether pre-identified movement has stabilised or is ongoing.
Use a combination of tilt nodes, temperature sensors, optical displacement sensors and more - to effectively monitor track movement and the causes of that movement - without leaving your desk.

Detect Rail Track Movement From the Comfort of Your Desk
Wireless sensors are designed for the challenges of rail applications, providing precise measurement for many years after installation. They help detect movement associated with:
- Traffic loading
- Weather events such as flooding or high temperatures
- Maintenance and adjacent construction activity
- Failure of supporting materials like track foundations or embankments
Sensors are typically fixed to track ties but can be mounted on gantries, platforms, and undertrack culverts for versatile monitoring options.

Complementary and Alternative Rail Track Monitoring Solutions
Senceive wireless railway monitoring technology can complement or provide an alternative to traditional optical methods such as:
- Robotic Total Station (RTS) or Automatic Motorised Total Station (AMTS) monitoring
- Mobile solutions like track recording vehicles or Amberg rail trolleys
Our technology also integrates seamlessly with railway void meters and other track measurement systems.
Trusted by Clients Worldwide
Our solutions are chosen by rail operators and infrastructure owners globally when real-time, reliable insights into track geometry changes are essential.
"One of the big advantages we saw using Senceive’s system was that we now had sensors installed every 10 feet along the freight track; we couldn’t reasonably do that with any of our previous monitoring systems. Another huge advantage, especially compared to our AMTS, was that we’re getting a reading every five minutes even if the sensors are buried in snow or a train is passing, we are always getting our readings because we don’t have to rely on line-of-sight. A huge plus is that it is completely wireless - anyone who has worked with wired systems know they are a huge hassle.”
