Focus
Line-scanning data captured by the AIVR Focus system provides an incredibly comprehensive capture of the track using underbody cameras, enhancing early detection of railway track anomalies and facilitating proactive maintenance to reduce faults on the tracks and prevent track wear and tear.

A Line Scanning System
AIVR Focus, a state-of-the-art Line Scanning system deployed on in-service and measurement vehicles, automatically captures and transmits track conditions. This enables automated railway track inspection, allowing remote, detailed inspection using a safe, rapid, and reliable method.
AIVR Focus is adept at inspecting both plain line and conductor rail track, pivotal in reducing operational disruptions and extending track life.

Track Componentry Detection
The AIVR Focus system utilises underbody cameras for line-scanning, providing a highly comprehensive capture of the railway track.
Machine Learning is applied to this high-definition imagery, enabling the automatic detection of key track components such as fishplates, electrical cables, welds, and other critical points of interest. This advanced technology plays a crucial role in predicting railway track faults. By assessing the conditions of these assets and identifying potential ‘issues’ for further investigation, the system contributes significantly to the longevity of track components and helps in avoiding costly emergency repairs.
Combined with FFV, geospatial and additional partner location systems, AIVR Focus grants users the ability to precisely locate defects, unknown objects, or wet beds on the track. This comprehensive approach to defect detection and localisation improves the safety and reliability of rail travel, enabling maintenance teams to target specific areas for rapid response, thereby optimising maintenance schedules and resource allocation.

Track Geometry
The integration of laser-based track geometry systems with AIVR Focus operates autonomously. Data is made accessible via our powerful web-based frontend, alongside AIVR’s captured line-scanning imagery, optimising railway track geometry analysis. Geometry data is provided in Network Rail specific presentation.

How AIVR Focus Video is Captured:
A number of measurement and in-service vehicles within the UK are outfitted with AIVR Focus devices. Each system is easily configurable to align with specific capture requirements, ensuring versatility and precision. These systems are fully automated, eliminating the need for an on-train technician. This automation allows for the data to be accessed entirely remotely, streamlining the diagnostic process. By enabling efficient and remote railway track diagnostics, AIVR Focus significantly reduces operational costs.
