Advanced monitoring systems using real-time video analysis and IoT technology are helping railway operators enhance safety and reduce delays for passengers
With traveller demands becoming increasingly challenging these years, the railway industry is undergoing a significant transformation to meet the changing expectations of modern passengers. They need not only speed and convenience but also safety and reliable communication throughout their journey.
To hop on the trend, railway operators are starting to invest in advanced technologies to enhance station and onboard experiences. From real-time monitoring of rail tracks to comprehensive information systems, these innovations are shaping a more efficient, safe, and passenger-friendly environment.
Rail track monitoring for enhanced safety and efficiency
Real-time rail track monitoring systems can minimize risks and elevate safety to a new level. The integration of machine vision, AI, and IoT technology can help to realize the monitoring systems. With certified onboard edge AI systems, the data collected from sensors and cameras can be processed and analysed immediately, enabling continuous monitoring of track conditions in real time.
By delivering real-time data, they empower operators to take immediate action, reducing delays, minimizing accidents, and ensuring a smoother journey for passengers.
12th Gen Intel® Core™ for Real-time Processing
Powered by the efficient Intel® Core™ processor, the tBOX520 delivers the outstanding computing and graphic power necessary for real-time data processing and analysis. This enables continuous monitoring of rail tracks, allowing for immediate detection of anomalies like track deformation or obstructions.
Extensive connectivity with modular expansion
The tBOX520 offers flexible connectivity options, including multiple Ethernet ports, USB interfaces, and serial connections. The A-coded VAM701 can connect with IP cameras for real-time high-quality video transmission, and the X-coded AM706 can connect with routers and other sensors. This modularity allows for seamless integration with various devices used in rail tracks, fulfilling customers’ diverse needs.
Compliance with railway standards
Meeting stringent railway industry standards like EN 50155 and EN 45545-2, the tBOX520 ensures safety, reliability, and fire protection. To ensure smooth operation in harsh conditions, it can withstand a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C meeting EN 50155 OT4 conformity, and supports a wide power input range of 24 to 110 VDC. Additionally, it satisfied the standard of EN 61373 (Category 1 Class B) shock and vibration, ensuring a steady connection in the train.
