AmeData is advanced propulsion system PTE software compatible with any Windows-based laptop computer with Ethernet connectivity. The AmeData PTE Software offers advanced testing and diagnosis capabilities.
AMEDATA FEATURES
Monitor status of propulsion Line Replacement Units (LRU's) in real time.
Log system variables and export to file.
Configure propulsion systems operating parameters
Hardware self-test sequences to diagnose LRU's.
Download event logs for troubleshooting.
Install updates to our propulsion system software.
COMPREHENSIVE EVENT MONITORING
AmeData features an Event Log viewer for storing system and train level events, faults and warnings with a storage capability of over 5 years of constant monitoring. This records include timestamps, Temperature and GPS data and it can be fully customized to meet any needs.
GPS INTEGRATION
AmeData is capable of showcasing full GPS data with precise location stamps on where and event and a fault has happened. This helps substantially to predict system failures and take preventive measures before the event happens. GPS data can be used to trace specific event patterns and relate them with environmental conditions.

Enhancing System Reliability with AmeData on LACMTA’s P2550 Light Rail Vehicles
As part of our ongoing work with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA), AmePower deployed its advanced data acquisition and analytics platform, AmeData, on the P2550 Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) fleet.
During monitoring, the system identified a recurring issue: multiple instances of abrupt disconnections from the Overhead Catenary System (OCS), specifically occurring when the vehicle was regenerating high levels of current—approximately 500 amps—back to the OCS. These disconnections were triggering the vehicle’s “automatic disable” protection mechanism due to transient line overvoltage conditions.
The anomalies were consistently detected between Washington and Vernon stations on the northbound route, pointing to a localized issue within the power distribution network along that segment. As a result, downtime was significantly minimized and operations resumed quickly.
