The ERTMS Trackbot (by TRACKBOT) is a smart assembly robot that will independently install axle counters and balises in the track, in a safe and sustainable way.
The robot automatically places the axle counters and balises in the track and digitises the information. It finds the exact geographical location, drills the holes and mounts the axle counters or balises.
The ERTMS Trackbot (by TRACKBOT) is one of eleven innovations that market parties are developing in collaboration with ProRail in the ASAP project (Dutch tender for fast implementation of ERTMS). ERTMS is the new European train safety system. Some fifty thousand balises and more than twenty thousand axle counters have to be installed in the Netherlands on behalf of the implementation of ERTMS. This is repetitive and physically demanding work, which the Trackbot will take over. Strukton Rail is developing the ERTMS Trackbot in close collaboration with AMT, No Man Trackwork, ProRail and with the help of the innovation programme Europe’s Rail Joint Undertaking.
