The goal-driven data solution

In ProRail’s Datalab, there is plenty of work being done with innovation technology, sensors and data. Together we investigated what we could do with Fiber-Optic Acoustic Sensins (FOAS). These are fiber-optic cables that measure sound waves. We have used Machine Learning and AI to automate processes such as detection of trains, track parts and wheel defects. Our goal? To make the rail network safer and more sustainable.

Do you want to hear what is possible with this FOAS technology? In an episode of the Databar, we sit down with Cees-Jan Mas of ProRail at the bar and talk about this in detail.
