Innowattech – R&D company, founded in 2007; Innowattech is a privately held

collaborating with the Technion.

Innowattech is based in Ra’anana, with research facilities in the Technion, I.I.T.

Innowattech has developed a unique technology which enables converting

mechanical energy into electrical energy.

About Innowattech

Using the present rubber pad, which is located between the rail and the sleeper,

used to damp the vibrations of the rail.

IPEG PAD

IPEG PAD is assembled as usual under the rail, and it will

serve as before for damping purposes.

At the same time the pad will be used for rail and track

monitoring solution.

This solution is a simple one, does not require any

changes of the sleeper and its assembly is done in a

short time.

Rail & Track Data

•Speed of train

•Length of the train at any speed.

•Number of wagons at any speed.

•Number of axles at any speed.

•Weight of axles, wagons and train at any speed.

•Distance between two consecutive/ opposite trains at any speed.

•Wheel’s defect control / diameter / profile at any speed.

•Sleeper's health alert.

•Track’s health alert.

• Infrastructure's stability alert.

The solution consists of:

•8 IPEG Pads

•Measurement unit for local processing of the data.

•Data transmitter.

•PC with software.

•RFID Tag-reader (optional).

Example of a signal measurement

The amplitude of the signal is based on the voltage derived from our PAD.

The figure shows the bending of the rail during the passage of a two-axle bogie;

The first wheel has a significant wheel defect.

Data output

•Speed of train- The speed of train is recorded and transmitted in real time

•Length of the train at any speed- Length of each train is monitored and

transmitted in real time.

•Number of wagons at any speed- The number of wagons on each train is

monitored and transmitted in real time.

•Number of axles at any speed- The number of axles on each train is counted and

transmitted in real time.

•Weight of axles, wagons and train at any speed- Precise weight of each axle

and wagon. Alert will be given if any over weight is occurring on the track. The

specific wagon and axle is recorded and monitored.

Data output

•Distance between 2 consecutive trains at any speed- Distance between

consecutive trains is monitored and an alert will be given in real time if distance is

smaller than agreed upon.

•Distance between 2 opposite trains at any speed- Distance between opposite

trains is monitored and an alert will be given in real time if distance is smaller than

agreed upon.

•Wheel defect control and wheel diameter at any speed- Real time alert and

recording of all trains wheels health and condition.

•Rail track health monitoring- The condition and health of the rail tracks will be

monitored. If any change occurs in infrastructure, a real time alert and notification

will be given.
