L&T Technology Services announced the launch of TrackEi™, an AI-powered railway track inspection solution. Designed as part of LTTS' growing mobility portfolio, TrackEi™ leverages the NVIDIA Jetson™ platform for edge AI and robotics — to deliver real-time defect detection and, support predictive maintenance, enhancing safety for rail networks worldwide.
The latest development follows a series of accolades recognizing LTTS' leadership in rail innovation, including winning the Etihad Rail Innovation Award for its “Innovative Way to Detect Visible Rail Defects in Real-Time.” TrackEi™ will be showcased at the NVIDIA GTC 2025 AI Conference, highlighting LTTS' ongoing commitment to AI-driven transformation in transportation infrastructure.
Traditionally, rail inspection involved manual processes or slow-moving trolleys, which are time consuming and sometimes fail to detect critical flaws in time to prevent derailments. TrackEi™ addresses this challenge by automating high-speed inspections at over 60 Miles Per Hour, utilizing high-resolution cameras and laser profiling to identify issues such as broken rails, cracks, track misalignments, and other structural defects. By integrating deep learning algorithms powered by NVIDIA accelerated computing, TrackEi™ delivers immediate actionable intelligence and continuously improves detection accuracy over time.
The launch of TrackEi™ builds on LTTS' deep collaboration with NVIDIA, which recently included the unveiling of a cutting-edge AI Experience Zone at LTTS. This ongoing partnership underscores LTTS' commitment to driving innovation across industries by leveraging advanced AI technologies.
Accelerated by the NVIDIA JetsonTM platform, LTTS' TrackEi™ solution, having gone through initial trial at our Class-I Railroad customers in different variants, is currently undergoing testing and evaluation at MxV Rail in Pueblo, CO, under the supervision of Dr. Anish Poudel, Scientist (Research & Innovation) and his research team. MxV Rail is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Association of American Railroads.
