Cordel wins third U.S. Class I railroad contract to advance AI-driven PTC inspections

Cordel Group PLC ( (GB:CRDL) ) has issued an announcement.

Cordel Group PLC has secured a new contract with a U.S. Class I railroad, its third Class I customer in North America and fourth major U.S. client, to validate positive train control asset management and LiDAR-based clearance assessment in live operations. The win underscores growing market acceptance of Cordel’s PTC solution and supports a long-term digital inspection strategy for the railroad.

Under the agreement, Cordel’s rugged hardware will be installed on a geometry testing vehicle in early 2026 to capture up to 3,000 miles of active rail network for real-world operational validation. The project aims to demonstrate a clear return on investment by improving inspection efficiency, track safety and data-driven decision-making, guiding the railroad’s broader PTC workflow and potential future rollout of Cordel’s technology.
