Sensor Technology

Monash IRT has extensive experience in railway instrumentation and analysis, which is critical to all aspects of understanding physical processes to validation of models, and develop algorithms. At Monash University, novel monitoring technologies are continuously being developed and tested, including in-situ, proximal and remote sensing platforms.

Application areas range from monitoring structural health, to temporal evolution of the natural environment using ground, air and satellite platforms.

Areas include:

• Photogrammetry
• Object detection and tracking, such as passengers or objects accessing the railway corridor
• Residual, thermal and applied stress measurement and analysis
• Embedded sensor technologies to monitor structural integrity of infrastructure/ buildings
