Rail Industry Transportation Solutions

Rail

Europe and Asia have the most advanced rail systems, including high speed and autonomous trains, as well as modern electric trains. The U.S. lags, largely because most passenger travel is by air or car. A key U.S. trend is positive train control (PTC), an automated safety system.

Europe and Asia have highly advanced rail systems, including high speed and autonomous trains. The U.S. is well behind, largely because U.S. commercial passenger travel is by air. An important U.S. trend is positive train control, an automated safety system. Rail’s migration to digital technologies also has led to the use of smart sensors. These can generate thousands of train performance readings for subsequent analysis that improves safety and reliability while reducing costs.

High-speed rail tracks against a city skyline

Railway pneumatic circuits require clean, dry air for reliable performance. P3X Series membrane air dryers employ an advanced molecular membrane technology that dries the compressed air and lowers the pressure dewpoint (PDP). They have no moving parts and are not susceptible to shock or vibration.
