On-Board and Wayside

products in rail applications

Rail application computers are ruggedized systems essential to modern railways, responsible for managing critical functions such as control, signaling, communication, auxiliary systems, and passenger comfort.

In control systems, these computers optimize train operations, ensuring both safety and efficiency. In signaling, they manage track circuits, signals, and interlocking systems, preventing potential conflicts and ensuring smooth operations.

For communication, rail application computers facilitate seamless train-to-ground interaction, enabling public announcements and emergency protocols, thus enhancing overall safety and coordination.

These systems also control auxiliary functions like power management, HVAC, and lighting. Additionally, they improve passenger comfort by managing real-time information displays, onboard entertainment, and Wi-Fi services, ensuring a safe, efficient, and enjoyable journey for all passengers.

Safe Control and Robust Cybersecurity in Rail Systems

Advanced and Secure Hardware and Software Solutions for Track and Wayside Applications

In rail and transport applications, ensuring safe control and strong cybersecurity is essential to maintaining operational integrity and protecting against threats. The integration of modular embedded computers, especially DIN rail-mounted systems, is vital in achieving these objectives. These specialized systems enable real-time monitoring and control of critical railway operations, such as signaling, communication, onboard systems, and infrastructure management.

Safe control mechanisms are designed to ensure that operational commands and data exchanges comply with stringent safety protocols, minimizing risks and preventing accidents. These systems often include redundancy and fail-safe designs to ensure continuous functionality, even under challenging conditions.

As cyber threats to rail and transport networks grow, cybersecurity has become a top priority. Advanced gateways and embedded computers act as secure nodes within the network, implementing encryption, access control, and anomaly detection to protect against unauthorized access and cyberattacks. These systems are built to be highly resilient, ensuring that communication across the transport network remains secure and uninterrupted.
