SMDL-2TE116 is a self-propelled multifunctional diagnostic train for automated monitoring of railway infrastructure condition at operating speeds of up to 100 km/h under conditions of real track and locomotive interaction with an axle load of 23.7 tons.
The project development of SMDL-2TE116 was initialized by JSC Russian Railways. INFOTRANS, a long–term developer and supplier of diagnostic systems and tools for Russian Railways, was chosen the lead company for this project. The main co-executors of the project were the Locomotive Engineering Bureau and the Voronezh Diesel Locomotive Repair Plant.

infrastructure monitoring under conditions of real track and locomotive interaction with an axial load of 23.7 tons;

a high degree of automation of all measurement, monitoring, evaluation and analysis procedures with a minimum crew involvement;

the autonomy of the diagnostic section, all necessary household equipment and life-support systems, comfortable living and working conditions.
A full-fledged laboratory for the diagnosis of railway infrastructure has been designed in the section of the 2TE116 diesel locomotive which is characterized by:
The SMDL is a universal diagnostic complex and is capable of carrying out, among other things, diagnostics of the overhead line on track electrified sections.

As part of a single check it provides monitoring with regards to the track and geodetic (GLONASS/GPS) coordinate systems. It implies:
more than 120 parameters of technical infrastructure facilities monitoring;

over 140 parameters of automatic result evaluation and analytical processing functions.
It replaces a number of specialized diagnostic tools and surpasses them in functionality.
