- Wheel Impact Load Detector (WILD) system to monitor bi-directional traffic and identify track and train damaging wheelsets. The system must be capable of identifying train direction and specific cars /wheelsets with suspected defects. The system shall have minimal dead zone during each run. RFID readers shall operate reliably at any train speed and under all environmental conditions with zero crosstalk when multiple trains are simultaneously present on adjacent tracks with minimal spacing. Data collected would be shared via alerts, emails and analysis software. LIRR seeks an integrated package. - Hot Box Detector (HBD) system to monitor bi-directional traffic and identify overheated railcar bearings. The system must be capable of identifying train direction and specific cars / wheelsets with suspected defects. Data collected would be shared via alerts, emails and analysis software. LIRR seeks an integrated package. - WILD and HBD systems may be installed separately or together at various locations. - Other optional systems such as sliding wheel and dragging equipment detection that may be added to such a system. - Systems shall have an expandable format suitable for single, dual, triple and quadruple track installations and multiple locations. - On-track equipment and sensors shall operate at the telecom low voltage limit, such as 48vDC. - Suitable for use on electrified (750v DC third rail) and non-electrified tracks.
