##### The Adhesion Management Solution for Optimum Performances

##### Adhesion variability is a major challenge for rail operators — impacting braking performance, causing wheel damage, and leading to costly disruptions such as timetable changes, unplanned maintenance, and train downtime.

##### DISTANCEMASTERTM is WT’s advanced adhesion management suite, designed to help operators maintain stable and predictable braking performance, even under degraded conditions, while significantly reducing wheel flats.

This performance boost is powered by three key innovations:

- Adaptive Wheel Slide Protection (A-WSP): Optimizes slide control in real time.
- Deceleration Control (DM-Control+): Maximizes adhesion usage across the entire train.
- Smart Sanding Management (DM-SmartSanding): Intelligently deploys sand to locally enhance adhesion when needed.

**Customer benefits**

##### With DISTANCEMASTERTM , operators gain greater control, improved safety, and reduced lifecycle costs — making it a smart investment for modern rail networks.
