  • Abstract
    Asset protection sites are used to detect a variety of conditions from wheel wear and over speed impacts to truck hunting, vertical impacts, and temperature/pressure changes. They protect rolling stock and track infrastructure and help to prevent damage and costly repairs, traffic hold-ups and derailments.
