Video Analytics Solutions
Our video analytics solutions leverage advanced image processing and machine learning techniques to enhance railway safety and security. From empty train detection, platform surveillance or track monitoring, our solutions enable real-time threat detection and proactive intervention. Our contributions have been deployed in major rail networks such as the Montreal REM network
Signaling Subsystems
Our signaling subsystems are at the heart of modern railway infrastructure, ensuring safe and efficient operation of rail networks worldwide. From trackside signaling equipment to onboard control systems, our solutions enable precise train detection, route selection, and interlocking. Communication gateway and interface units designed by our teams serve as the backbone of railway communication systems, facilitating seamless data exchange between various subsystems and control centers. Our contributions have been instrumental in major railway projects such as the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS).
