FAQ's: Your questions answered
How does the DYWIDAG Smart Void Monitor detect track voiding?
The Smart Void Monitor automatically measures track voiding when a train passes, capturing data under real operating conditions.
Once installed, the unit remains in low-power standby. When a train approaches, it activates and uses a high-precision sensor to measure rail displacement caused by voiding beneath the track.
Data is then transmitted wirelessly to DYWIDAG’s Infrastructure Intelligence platform and Network Rail’s RADAR 2 system. Depending on configuration:
- Data is sent at scheduled intervals, and
- Immediate alerts are triggered if thresholds are exceeded.
With GPS tracking and automated alerts, engineers gain clear, location-specific insights—enabling faster decisions and more proactive maintenance.
01
Install: The unit attaches directly to the rail using a magnetic clamp and remains in low-power standby once fitted.
02
Activate: When a train approaches, the system is automatically triggered by track loading and activates the sensor.
03
Measure: A high-precision sensor records rail displacement (up to 120 Hz), capturing how the track behaves under load.
04
Transmit: Data is transmitted wirelessly to DYWIDAG Infrastructure Intelligence and Network Rail’s RADAR 2 system
05
Alert & Act: If predefined thresholds are exceeded, alerts are sent immediately—enabling faster, data-driven maintenance decisions
