At ITSS, we are proud to announce the recent installation of the first Pegasus detector for hot axle boxes and seized brakes on high-speed rail lines in Spain. This advanced technology is now operational in Yeles (Toledo) on the Madrid-Seville line, marking a new milestone in our history of innovation in railway safety systems.
Advanced Technology for Railway Safety
The Pegasus system is the result of years of research and development at ITSS, incorporating a pre-diagnosis system (SCC-Service Cost Control through vibration monitoring), a technology currently under European patent application. This system monitors the impact of vibrations on the sensors, extending their lifespan and improving equipment reliability, reducing maintenance costs by avoiding false alarms.
With sensors that are 60% smaller than conventional ones, Pegasus minimizes the risk of damage caused by hanging objects. Additionally, the system expands the measurement capacity from eight to ten beams, and thanks to its modular design and Ethernet sensor network, it can be scaled up to 32 sensors. The operating system used is Linux, and data transmission from the sensors to the control terminal occurs at speeds of 10/100 MB, ensuring fast and accurate information management.
Our Commitment to Railway Safety
This installation adds to the existing one on the conventional rail in Valladolid since 2007, and soon Pegasus will also be present on the Madrid-Barcelona high-speed rail line, consolidating our role as a leader in railway safety technology solutions in Spain.
At ITSS, we continue to invest in innovation and excellence in implementing safety systems that enhance the operation and reliability of railway infrastructures.
