FBG-Based Wheel Impact Load Detector Technology is Jointly Innovated by:
Indian Railways (Through RDSO)
IISc (Indian Institute of Science), India
Lab to Market Innovations Private Limited, India (IISc Startup for Railways)
An Indian Patent has been filed for FBG-WILD Technology.
The technology was deployed in two Indian Railways locations in June 2021,
following two years of rigorous Research and Development. It has been in
satisfactory use since then.
Indian Railways plans to deploy over 400 Wheel Impact Load Detection
systems to cover its vast network.
