K-rail seeks to enhance standards of safety for trains and structures in difficult terrain
Indian Institute of Science (IISc.) and L2M Rail, a Society for Innovation and Development (SID) incubated start-up, signed an MoU with Kerala Rail Development Corporation Limited (K-Rail) to enhance technology for safety of trains and structures in difficult terrain.
L2M Rail and IISc. developed Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensing technology to build a Structural Health Monitoring System (SHMS), which would be used to monitor civil engineering structures of K-Rail’s Silverline project. Through this partnership, K-Rail would ensure the safety of trains on the proposed Silverline project – a 530-kilometre, double line stretch between Thiruvananthapuram and Kasargod.
