Micro-Seismic Railway
Monitoring System
Overview
ALSTOM’s Micro-Seismic
Railway Monitoring System
(MRMS) is an innovative solution that augments existing
slide fence technology. MRMS
utilizes seismic sensors to detect
when a rock or other debris falls
into the track area. The size of
the object can be determined
by the signature signal generated by the seismic sensor. If the
object is of sufficient size, the
Seismic Monitor sends a digital
output to the local signaling
system.
ALSTOM Signaling has developed the MRMS as a reliable,
accurate, cost-efficient way to
seismically detect rockslides and
other obstructions falling on the
right of way. The Micro-Seismic
Railway Monitoring System can
interface with existing signaling systems and automatically
reset itself, improving safety and
reducing train delays. MRMS
greatly reduces false detections
and will reduce operating and
maintenance expenses.
Features
• Capable of interfacing with an existing Signaling System
• Automatic Reset Feature Reduces Train Delays
• Equipped to operate 24/7/365, through all climate conditions
• Remote and Self-Monitoring Capability to Improve Safety
• Cost Efficient to Install and Maintain
• Self Contained, No Reliance on External Systems

Specifications
The MRMS consists of the following:
• Seismic Sensors detect ground motion caused by rocks and other debris.
• Seismic recorder determines if the ground motion is caused by a rock or rock slide. These recorders also maintain a
local storage record of monitored ground movement.
• Local signaling system interfaces with the seismic recorder
signal to approaching trains.
• Remote monitoring system.
