QT-PRI is a collaboration between RSK, Atkins, Network Rail and the University of Birmingham (UoB) to establish the Quantum Technology (QT) gravity sensor market opportunities against assessment of current geophysical technologies to detect and assess the condition of assets buried below the railway network, in particular drains, as well as water flow through the railway earthworks. There are over 190,000 railway earthworks and over 6000km buried assets. The incomplete asset inventory significantly limits the development of a framework to allow proactive condition assessment thereby maximising the limited resources and keeping the rail network operational. Currently, geophysical sensors are commercially used to detect the location of the ducts and pipes in roads and with limited success on the railways, but are rarely used to detect the asset condition or the condition of the parent asset (earthwork) itself. QT-PRI will open up a new market for QT gravity sensors by: 1) Assessing in detail the capability and limitations of QT gravity sensors benchmarked against current geophysical sensors for the railway environment; 2) Increasing the marketplace for the sensors by engagement with the client base, excellent dissemination activities, and practical field demonstrations.

QT-PRI是RSK、阿特金斯、Network Rail和伯明翰大学（UoB）之间的合作项目，旨在根据当前地球物理技术的评估，确定量子技术（QT）重力传感器的市场机会，以检测和评估埋在铁路网络下方的资产的状况，特别是排水沟，以及通过铁路土方工程的水流。铁路土方工程19万余处，埋置资产6000余公里。不完整的资产清单极大地限制了框架的发展，从而允许积极的状况评估，从而最大限度地利用有限的资源，保持铁路网络的运营。目前，地球物理传感器在商业上用于检测道路中的管道和管道的位置，在铁路上的成功有限，但很少用于检测资产状况或母资产（母资产）本身的状况。QT-PRI将通过以下方式为QT重力传感器开辟一个新市场：1）详细评估QT重力传感器的能力和局限性，以当前铁路环境中的地球物理传感器为基准; 2）通过与客户群的互动，出色的传播活动和实际的现场演示来增加传感器的市场。
