As CBTC and ERTMS become more common in the rail industry, there is a worldwide shift from the use of Track-Circuits to Axle-Counters. This leaves the rails much more abandoned in track-safety monitoring, although rail fractures may occur frequently. In order to make rail transport more safe, it is imperative to establish demonstrated rail integrity monitoring tools which will help avoiding train derailment accidents.

RailAcoustic®,  as the “only proven system in the world” which senses the rail defects and on-track obstacles before a train arrives, has been developed and patented by Enekom. The rail-based acoustic domain technology is the Winner of the 2020 Innovation Awards of the European Railway Clusters (ERCI). The system is successfully in operation on Ankara-Konya high-speed railway line for almost 2-Years, and nowadays being implemented at another High-Speed Line on Slab-Track
