Testimonials

The standard measurement technology from HBK that we’ve used in regular trains for the continuous track monitoring of the DB rail network has been reliably delivering the desired measured data for years now. This information gives us an accurate overview of the condition of the rail infrastructure, making a vital contribution to a strong rail and highly available track systems – which are becoming more and more important as rail traffic increases.
