DigitalTrains™ were approached by Oleo who between 2017 and 2022 had completed the design, manufacture, and installation of 29 Friction Sliding Buffer Stops during Orange Line Phase 1.

In response, the Thai government launched its most stringent High-Level Safety Audit ever conducted. Oleo were required to re-validate their systems under a drastically elevated safety framework.
DigitalTrains™ were appointed to analyse the energy absorption performance of Oleo’s pure friction buffer stops and wheel stops under the different conditions specified by the customer.
