What is PTC Connect?
Following the mandated implementation of Positive Train Control (PTC), class 1 rail operators must now have accurate records of the location and condition of every critical asset within their network. PTC Connect addresses the challenges associated with needing to constantly monitor every asset along the network and maintain an accurate, up-to-date track infrastructure database.
Through regular data capture (facilitated by Cordel's "always on" capture hardware) and automatic AI classification, PTC Connect identifies and records the precise location and condition of each asset. The asset audit process allows users to engage in a quick comparison between new and existing data - with synced video and LiDAR point cloud for additional context.
Users accept or ignore new, moved and missing assets and save their changes to submit an audit of a particular section of track.
