Weedfree On Track constantly assesses new technologies as they become available on the market. If an item becomes available that improves any aspect of the spraying operation, then it is put under consideration for integration on the train. It is for this reason that the the train remains ahead of other spraying systems currently available on the market.
Looking further into the future, there is a constant need to assess ways of reducing the train's environmental impact. One such ongoing development is species recognition; this allows the train's computers to identify individual species of weeds according to their location on the track bed. In doing so specific herbicides can be used to effectively treat the invasive weeds. Again, as these herbicides are usually potent we want to minimize their usage and by targeting only select weeds, this is the next logical step in optimizing treatments.
The system is a market leader and be used on any rail network to drive down chemical usage. It offers a sustainable environmental solution which can be adapted to meet the requirements of any countries' needs to ensure a long lasting, safe railway network.
The bespoke nature of the train means that as and when new technologies are released, it is possible to seamlessly upgrade the system to accommodate improvements. From a software perspective, the clients are consulted and included to develop and design a set of tools and reports to suit their needs.
