17/11/2010 - Flamatt
To secure the railway section near Flamatt, ImpactSentinel sensors were installed in the safety fence and directly integrated in the electronic alarm system of the SBB and thus the already existing system enlarged.
If a rock fall is detected, the ImpactSentinel sensors will activate a signal for slow approach for trains via the alarm system of the SBB. At the same time, engineers of the GEOTEST AG, who service the unit, will be informed.
05/11/2010 - St. Sulpice
The SBB uses the rock fall monitoring ImpactSentinel in St. Sulpice now as well. This is the first time that a completely autarkic system is applied, which is only operated through solar cells, because there is no power supply available. Four batteries are used for the storage of the power, furthermore an observation camera makes the operation even safer.
27/10/2010 - Kaschirand
More sections of the railway net of the SBB are monitored of ImpactSentinel now - this time in Kaschirand.
18/03/2010 - Debris flow in Veltheim
Guard nets for mudflows are checked in the test system in Veltheim. ImpactSentinel sensors are used here as well.
19/02/2008 - Rock fall monitoring along the SBB railway line section Bern – Lausanne (CH) next to Flamatt
Heavy thunderstorms in August 2008 eroded and sloped the railway line. To secure the building site while reconstructing and for a permanent protection of the section, ImpactSentinel sensors were installed in the safety fence and on specific sensor nets – directly integrated in the electronic alarm system of the SBB.
01/12/2007 - Avalanche protection in Palfau
Novel avalanche guard nets were installed in a test site in Palfau. The electronic measuring device for the determination of occuring forces uses HazardSentinel avalanche detectors for the automatic start of a measurement. The measured data are transmitted directly during an avalanche to the university of Innsbruck. The whole electronic measuring system was installed of ProtectSentinel.
30/01/2007 - Rock fall monitoring along the railway line near Flamatt
Since 2007 a train of the Rhaetischen Bahn derailed there after a rock fall, this section is protected of guard nets monitored of ImpactSentinel sensors
