ITUS
Intelligent Train
Undercarriage Scanner
Gatekeeper’s Intelligent Train Undercarriage
Scanner (ITUS)™ automatically identifies and
inspects each train car’s undercarriage providing
a high-resolution image and the ability to
immediately detect foreign objects, anomalies,
and potential maintenance hazards under all
environmental conditions.
Trains pass over the dual-view scanner while Gatekeeper technology
compiles two high-resolution, virtual 3-D digital images of each car’s
undercarriage to create the car’s digital “fingerprint.” Two views make
it easier to see any threatening objects that may be hidden on top of
an axel or crossbeam. An overview camera captures the normal view
of the train and displays this on the high-resolution touch screen.
As each train car clears the scanning device, it only takes 4 seconds
for Gatekeeper’s Automatic Foreign Object Detection software to
compare the subject car’s undercarriage to a reference undercarriage

Applications
Operator Screen Undercarriage Views
Permanent non-intrusive
The operator screen displays the overview/driver image in color. installations at:
The undercarriage views are displayed in monochrome. As with • Passenger Train Stations
medical imaging (x-ray, CT scan, MRI), monochrome provides • Loading/Unloading Points
higher resolution and more accurate images than color. Since • Bridge Crossings
• Border Crossings
Gatekeeper’s automatic systems rely on computers to analyze the
images and not the human eye, monochrome is superior to color.
