QUICKLY DEFUSING CRITICAL SITUATIONS
IN RAIL TRANSPORT
Railway Proling System PROFILING SYSTEMS
Safety and punctuality are very important in rail transport. To ensure that transport goods can pass
along the rail network and at train crossings without colliding, rail operators must be able to recognize
critical situations quickly and act in good time if necessary. This is exactly the right eld of application
for the Railway Proling System from SICK: It measures trains three-dimensionally during travel and
alerts rail operators immediately if protruding cargo or train components violate the reference prole
permitted for the respective line.

PROFILING SYSTEMS Railway Proling System
Reference prole: Denes the maximum perimeter prole of the trains. Included in the reference prole are the movements of the trains in horizontal and vertical direction during the journey,
for example in curves. This ensures that the trains do not touch the structure gauge, thus ensuring collision-free rail trafc.
User-oriented data processing
• Using the 3D point cloud generated from the measurement data, rail operators can distinguish violations
of reference proles according to their severity and, for example, inspect critical train components before
initiating an unplanned train stop
• Traceable allocation of costs for unplanned train stops thanks to the generated output data in the form of
3D models, 2D cross-sections and camera images
• The detailed survey of train dimensions provides an optimal basis for dening the ideal structure gauge
when planning and dimensioning railroad lines
High availability with
economic operation
• The fully automated, non-contact detection of
trains and their cargo saves staff resources
• Minimal maintenance costs with long-lasting
operation thanks to rugged technology and
weather protection housings
• Low amount of contamination and protection
from vandalism due to high installation position
of the sensors

Flexible and applications-
specic prole measurement
• The installation-specic system conguration
allows multiple reference prole checks at one
time
• The reference proles can be individually dened
• The measurement technology can be adapted
to changing measurement situations, e.g. after
track bed tamping; an adaptation of the hard-
ware is not necessary in this case
• The system can be modularly expanded to
include image acquisition or RFID reading
technology, thus ensuring that equipment is
tailored to requirements

Product description
The Railway Proling System performs
three-dimensional measurement of
trains during travel and identies pro-
truding loads or train components which
violate the permitted reference proles.
The trains are scanned 200 times a
second using eye-safe 2D LiDAR sen-
sors. Based on the generated 3D model,
reference prole violations are detected
and alarms are sent to the operator. The
intuitive user interface supports detailed
analysis of the visualized critical areas
of the train prole as well as creation of
appropriate measures.
At a glance
• High-precision 3D measurement
with 200 Hz resolution and imme-
diate alarming of violated reference
proles
• Data output as 3D model, 2D
cross-section and camera picture
• Conguration of several reference
proles
• No optical sensors near the ground
• Protocoling of all measurement data
• Easy mounting, maintenance and
operation
Your benets
• Sensitive alarm signaling thanks to
high measurement resolution and
detection of minimal object sizes
• Rectication and assignment of refer-
ence prole violations which are both
sustainable and specic to the cause
• Inspection of multiple reference
proles without adjusting the sensor
systems
• Low life cycle costs thanks to minimal
maintenance requirements
• Sound measurement data as a basis
for planning and creation of long-term
statistics
• Modular expandable system func-
tions
