SANTA CLARA, Calif. - L&T Technology Services Limited has launched TrackEi™, a track inspection solution powered by AI.
TrackEi™ joins LTTS’ portfolio, and according to the report, “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.” TrackEi™ has won the Etihad Rail Innovation Award, and it was showcased at the NVIDIA GTC 2025 AI Conference. Currently, testing and evaluation of TrackEi™ is underway at MxV Rail in Pueblo, Colorado “under the supervision of Dr. Anish Poodle, Scientist (Research & Innovation) and his research team.”
LTTS says that traditional rail inspection maintenance involved manual processes that not only take up too much time, but they “sometimes fail to detect critical flaws in time to prevent derailments.” As a response, it says TrackEi™ was created to address the 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.”
The NVIDIA Jetson™ platform allows TrackEi™ to:
- “process massive amounts of high-speed image data on the fly, reducing reliance on cloud connectivity
- Perform complex machine vision tasks with high accuracy via stroboscopic lights, thus nullifying impact of variable lighting and weather conditions
- Continuously learn and adapt from real-world data, ensuring sustained performance improvement”
In answering what makes the product different, LTTS states it utilizes real-time defect detection, predictive maintenance, scalable edge-based architecture, and seamless integration. TrackEi™ uses algorithms driven by AI to analyze video and sensor data. It can aggregate that data over time, which in turn, helps operators predict when and where maintenance may be necessary. Additionally, the system can be “retrofitted onto existing rolling stock/locomotive/inspection vehicles and easily integrated into standard railway management systems, enabling faster adoption and return on investment.”
“At LTTS, we are redefining railway safety by combining AI, machine vision, and edge computing to create an intelligent, scalable inspection solution,” said Alind Saxena, Executive Director & President – Mobility & Tech at L&T Technology Services. “With TrackEi™ running on the powerful NVIDIA Jetson™ platform, rail operators can detect defects with unparalleled accuracy while optimizing maintenance schedules and reducing downtime.”
