In today’s modern railway transport, speed, axle loads, and the variability of wagons demand advanced technologies that ensure both safety and performance.
Pegasus Genius, the evolution of the original Pegasus system developed by ITSS, represents a new era in hotbox detection, eliminating the need for hollow sleepers, allowing for faster and more adaptable installation in any environment.
Pegasus Genius not only adheres to the strict safety and efficiency standards of the original Pegasus but also introduces significant enhancements, making it even more reliable and easier to implement.
This advanced monitoring system is designed to detect overheated axle boxes and defective brakes with unparalleled precision.
Equipped with our exclusive patented vibration sensor technology, Pegasus Genius measures and analyzes vibrations caused by passing trains, preventing gradual damage that might go unnoticed until it’s too late.
This unique feature allows for early intervention, reducing risks and operational costs for railway operators.
