Turn Every Mile of Track into Actionable Intelligence

SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION


Railroads are under increasing pressure to do more with less. Operators are accountable for improving reliability, enhancing safety, and extending the life of assets. All while constrained by access to tracks, shrinking budgets, and a retiring workforce. Making the right maintenance decisions has never been more challenging.
Lux Modus helps railroads work smarter.
Our Collect. Compute. Consume. approach transforms routine data collection into actionable maintenance intelligence. Mounted on a rail vehicle, LuxGear collects high-resolution LiDAR data at operational speeds, and handheld cameras collect 3D data in stations and confined spaces. LuxCloud computes data automatically in the cloud, via AI-driven workflows, producing engineering-grade digital twin models, as-built drawing and integrity reports. LuxWeb enables users to consume all these outputs in a secure, web-based portal.
Our LiDAR, 360° imagery, and GIS/CAD data combine easily with your operational and rail performance data via AI analytics. And these integrate seamlessly with your corporate EAM and GIS/CAD systems, giving your Maintenance of Way and Engineering teams access to a single, current view of their network. This enables agencies to adopt proactive, condition-based asset management programs while lowering the cost of data ownership and eliminating complexities of managing information across disconnected systems and vendors.
Lux technology enables you to identify infrastructure issues before they become service disruptions. Our automated analytics include clearance analysis, platform gap measurements, vegetation management, ballast fouling and ballast fall assessments, drainage and debris identification, encroachment and vandalism monitoring, asset inventory, and change detection across all infrastructure.
By providing accurate, current information, Lux technology enables agencies to prioritize maintenance based on actual asset condition; improve worker safety by reducing time on or near active tracks; and increasing network reliability through faster, better-informed decisions.
As rail networks evolve, so must the tools used to maintain them.
Trusted by leading North American transit agencies, Lux Modus is helping the industry transition from periodic inspections to continuously updated, AI-driven infrastructure intelligence. Our scalable platform supports everything from individual maintenance projects to network-wide digital twin initiatives, empowering maintenance teams to make faster, better-informed decisions while improving worker safety, increasing network reliability, reducing operating costs, and enhancing regulatory compliance. More than delivering data, Lux Modus delivers the actionable intelligence agencies need to confidently plan, maintain, and modernize the railroads of tomorrow.
Maintenance Intelligence Delivered.
