Our latest safety innovation is scanning wheels to catch potential defects, all while we keep rolling. Meet the Wheel Integrity System: 🚂 HOW IT WORKS ⚙️ Six synchronized cameras capture about 55 ultra-high-resolution images of every wheel at speeds up to 70 mph. AI algorithms analyze those images to detect subtle defects that are difficult for the human eye to identify consistently. Wheel defects are among the most serious mechanical defects in the industry. This technology helps our railroaders act faster, enhancing safety, reducing service disruptions, and protecting long-term asset performance. NS is proud to be the first railroad to deploy a vision‑based system that identifies cracks before they break — powered by our own technology and built through collaboration across multiple NS teams, with integration support from the Georgia Tech Research.
