Rail Infrastructure
AssetStack is the integrated rail asset intelligence platform that closes the loop between detection and verification, so every intervention is traceable, every assumption is visible, and every model learns from outcomes.
One connected process. Not five disconnected systems. Each stage produces the evidence the next stage depends on, and verification feeds confirmed outcomes back into the models.
Rail Overview
Traditional asset systems show what is recorded. AssetStack identifies what is changing, diagnoses why it is changing, forecasts what may happen next, recommends an intervention, supports delivery, and verifies whether the work achieved the intended result.
It brings together track geometry, rail condition, welded track stability, switches and crossings, signalling, substructure, sensors, digital twins, inspections, work orders, possessions, materials, compliance and capital planning in a single operational picture.
“The confidence you place in a conclusion should depend on the quality of the evidence behind it.”
How It Works
One connected process, not five disconnected systems. Each stage produces the evidence the next stage depends on, and verification feeds confirmed outcomes back into the models.
Ingest, validate and position geometry, inspection, sensor, imagery and survey evidence against the network.
Combine condition with history, deterioration rate, exposure and operational context to identify the failure mechanism.
Evaluate severity, consequence and options. Govern recommendations through engineering review and approval.
Convert approved decisions into work orders, possessions, materials and field instructions with readiness controls.
Compare condition before and after. Record effectiveness. Feed verified outcomes back into the models.
Verified outcomes become new evidence for future predictions, maintenance strategies and failure mode analysis.
No decision exists without a visible chain of reasoning back to source data.
Work orders, possessions and materials are linked directly to the decision that created them.
Post-work validation closes the loop so predictions get more accurate over time.
Foundational Principle
Every result in AssetStack is classified: measured, derived or modelled. Users can always distinguish source evidence from calculated indicators and predictive outputs, because the confidence placed in a conclusion should depend on the quality of the evidence behind it.
Direct measurements and observations from the field.
Calculated from measured evidence using defined, reviewable logic.
Predictive or scenario outputs with visible assumptions.
Why it matters: Financial and disruption calculations use visible planning assumptions. Values such as disruption cost per minute are not treated as measured facts unless supplied and approved by the organisation. Where forecast evidence is insufficient, AssetStack identifies the result as uncertain rather than presenting false precision.
Governance & Operations
A common operational picture for engineering, maintenance, planning and leadership teams, and a controlled route from a technical finding to an approved, traceable, verified action.
An operational view of the rail network bringing together critical defects, asset risks, overdue work, possession blockers, emerging trends and recent activity.
Converts technical findings into controlled, traceable actions. Each decision moves through review, approval, execution, validation and closure.
Capabilities
Specialised modules that analyse rail infrastructure at sample, defect, segment, corridor and network level, with forecasts that carry confidence information, never false precision.
Track & Structure Intelligence
AssetStack analyses track geometry at multiple scales. Successive runs are aligned and compared, and forecasts carry confidence information. No single-point guess is ever presented as a trend.
Geometry data displayed against chainage so engineers see precisely where a condition begins, peaks and recovers. Synchronous strip charts distinguish isolated noise from broader track response.
Identifies measurements crossing alert, intervention and immediate action thresholds. Adjacent samples consolidate into discrete defect locations. Continuous defects are never split into unrelated events.
Successive runs aligned by chainage calculate whether a parameter is stable, improving or deteriorating. Predictive tools estimate when a segment may reach intervention level, with honest confidence bounds.
Advanced intelligence: Rate of change heatmaps · Multi-scale analysis · Probabilistic exceedance · Weather-adjusted deterioration · Peer comparison · Resilience analysis · Deterioration decomposition · Priority ranking · Tamping planning · Temporary speed restriction support · Intervention simulation · Post-maintenance comparison
Network Condition
A consistent way to compare track condition across the network. AssetStack calculates segment-level condition indicators from available geometry evidence and displays condition by line, chainage and risk category.
Engineer insight: See not only which segment has the poorest current condition, but also which is deteriorating fastest and where intervention is likely to create the greatest benefit.
Thermal & Stability
Supports welded track stability assessment for continuous welded rail. Measured stress free temperature evidence is differentiated from inferred values, and stability loss factors are calculated against design intent.
Destressing records stored against line and chainage, including destressed length, date, recorded SFT, design SFT, rail temperature during work, destressing method, anchor verification and certification status.
AssetStack differentiates measured stress free temperature evidence from inferred values. Confidence in a stability conclusion depends on the quality and recency of the underlying evidence.
Calculates stability loss factors, temperature headroom and evidence coverage. Identifies locations where SFT is below design, records have been disturbed, anchors are unverified, or geometry and stability risks coincide.
Evidence considered: Stress free temperature · Design SFT · Expected rail temperature · Ballast condition · Sleeper and fastening condition · Track disturbance · Tamping and rerailing history · Anchor verification · Geometry condition · Environmental exposure
Outputs: Evidence-led heat response planning · Work restrictions · Speed restriction decisions · Destressing priorities · Assurance review
Rail Integrity
Manages rail wear, rail defects, welds and rolling contact fatigue. Fracture analysis exposes its model inputs as assumptions engineers can review and change, not hidden constants.
Vertical and lateral wear recorded by rail, line and chainage. Current measurements are compared with available limits and the rate of rail life consumption is tracked over time.
Full defect records including type, location, measured size or depth, severity, inspection date, supporting evidence, recommended intervention, and work and closure status.
Crack development analysis with remaining margin to critical condition. Model inputs (growth rate, critical depth, tonnage, inspection interval) are exposed as reviewable assumptions.
Supported analysis: Rolling contact fatigue analysis · Crack growth scenarios · Grinding and replacement planning · Full defect lifecycle management · Interventions verified after the fact
Trusted by Rail Operators
AssetStack is designed around the governance, safety and compliance requirements of modern rail infrastructure, where every decision must be traceable and every assumption visible.
Used by infrastructure managers and operators to unify track geometry, condition monitoring, stability analysis and engineering governance in a single operational picture.
