The Artificial Intelligence Used by the Company in the Defective Rail Detection Project on Its Railways Allows for Greater Safety in Train Traffic. Rumo’s Investment Will Increase the System’s Accuracy to 98% with the New Technology Acquisition.

The implementation of new technological solutions in the operations of the national railway industry continues under the management of Rumo Logística. For this Thursday, (11/17), the railway management company is utilizing a new Artificial Intelligence in its Broken Rail Detection (DTQ) project, which aims to ensure greater safety in train traffic. The accuracy of detecting defective rails will be significantly expanded with the new technology from the project, thus ensuring a good investment in safety.

The giant in the railway operation sector, Rumo Logística, announced the implementation of another technological solution in its operations across the country.

It involves an Artificial Intelligence capable of detecting defective rails with greater accuracy on the company’s railways.

Artificial Intelligence Will Also Allow for the Reduction of False Alarms in Defective Rail Detection by the Logistics Company

In addition to the benefits in the accuracy of checking defective rails in Rumo’s DTQ project, the company’s investment in the new technology will also allow for the reduction of false alarms regarding the existence of these rails.

Rodrigo de Souza, Railway Technology Manager at Rumo, commented on this issue: “The integration of the system reduced notifications that caused train stoppages or the need for speed restrictions. In tests, 14 cases of false alarms were identified that would require inspections by the track maintenance team. With this new model, we increased operational efficiency and reduced the incidence of such cases by 50%.”

He also emphasized the results obtained from the use of Artificial Intelligence in the project, as only 96 broken rails were detected during August and September of this year without the solution.

With the addition of the model, Rumo detected an additional 6 fractures, totaling 102 cases and representing a 6.25% gain in accuracy.

The company also recently completed the testing phase of the new investment in the project and ensured that 60% of the DTQ devices installed throughout Rumo’s network received the update and entered the assisted operation phase.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

A 250-ton transformer traveled 1,929 km by road in India on a slow and planned journey that demonstrates how the power grid relies on giant loads, detours, and impossible routes for regular trucks.

The largest car carrier ship in the world will unload 7,200 BYD cars at the SC Port in June, but before that, an Italian ship will arrive this Tuesday with another 4,500 vehicles, totaling 11,700 cars, 150 workers, and a 24-hour non-stop operation at the Port of Itajaí.

African country launched a $145 million project to rehabilitate 35 dams and drill deep wells seeking water stored for millennia beneath the desert, a plan that Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s government presents as a path to the country’s water sovereignty.

A 400-meter colossus powered by natural gas has just set sail from Shanghai to Europe, carrying over 24,000 containers. It is the world’s largest dual-fuel container ship and can cross the planet without refueling even once.

The largest highway concession company in Brazil already belongs to an Italian group, and now the railway sector may be next to receive billions in investments from Italy amid the progress of the Mercosur and European Union agreement.

A new study overturns the central idea we learned about planets and suggests that Earth is the exception rather than the rule; most rocky worlds in the galaxy may not have a core or mantle, just a single turbulent fluid extending to the center.

Five cities in the North of Santa Catarina may once again be connected by passenger train after 35 years, in an effort that brings together municipal associations, the Joinville Chamber, and CIMU to reactivate the EF-485 and reduce the number of cars on the BR-280 and BR-116 highways.
