Alstom TrainScanner
Coriel provide the complex vehicle identification systems that form a critical piece of the overall TrainScanner solution
TrainScanner is Alstom’s solution for automatic train check-up which enables condition-based and predictive maintenance for wheels, brake pads and pantograph carbon strips as well as under frame and vehicle side (Train Confidence Check). Especially suitable for large or dispersed fleets or when high level of service is required, subsystem information is captured as the train passes through the TrainScanner.
After automated inspection by the TrainScanner, the data is transmitted to Alstom’s HealthHub™ platform which translates raw data into actionable information, by using rule-based algorithms, leading to the calculation of a health index for each asset. HealthHub™ quickly analyses the condition of critical parts on engines, carriages and freight vehicles as they drive though the portal. A combination of scanners and visioning systems can detect excessive wear tear, cracks and damages allowing engineers to quickly make decisions on if parts need further inspection or replacement.
Coriel provides the AVI identification systems for the project, which accurately identify the vehicle as it enters the TrainScanner. This information forms a critical piece in associating the scanned maintenance data with the correct rolling stock.

The Alstom TrainScanner project is powered by our class-leading corielLINE-AVI series of Automated Vehicle Identification systems, allowing reliable rolling stock detection at high speeds and long distances. Rail and rolling stock environments are typically difficult and electromagnetically noisy places for radio technology to operate in, meaning sophisticated solutions are required.
