Introducing RAILS the Rail Intermodal Equipment & Operations Revolution
New Double Stack System 53 and System 40 designs
Using stronger, lighter, green steel and less components per well will reduce weight by 14+%.
New ECP-Electro Pneumatic braking system
Reduces transit time in/out of speed restrictions.
Adds back line capacity.
Reduces fuel use with less time on the road.
New security system for container/trailer doors during transit will reduce theft and shifted load issues to zero.
Reduced terminal switching saves time and operating expense.
Compared to existing designs, RAILS System 53 and 40 will have less components such as trucks, coupler, air hoses further reducing weight and mechanical points of failure offering more reliable operations and reduced maintenance costs.
Distributed Power Unit operations will be utilized for longer train lengths and support ECP Braking..
New design will improve reliability and safety with key component health telematics monitoring and planned component maintenance.
Opportunity for short haul intermodal segment operations.
New Autonomous Traction Platform (ATP) design
ATP will replace the traditional locomotive with an autonomous operation utilizing dual engines generating 9,000 horsepower powering 12 AC traction motors meeting EPA and CARB emission regulations
As new energy options prove themselves for rail freight operations, will adapt to reliable and renewable sources
As the United States debates and decides on Class 1 railroad crew size options and AAR/FRA future standards for Autonomous Train Operations, AIM will adapt to the new standard.
RAILS designs are patent pending.
