As more passengers embark on daily train trips, digital technology plays a vital role in improving train services. Investment in the Internet of Things (IoT) is no longer an option. Intelligent technology, monitoring, and remote wireless monitoring are essential to improve the efficiency, security, and management of the entire railway network operation.
Transport computer system for monitoring railway tracks
Common reasons for service delays and cancellations are track problems. Exposed to various elements, flat-bottom rails expand and contract at extreme temperatures. Boned, cracked or damaged tracks require immediate maintenance, which can seriously affect train service. Tracking and monitoring through sensors can minimize this risk. In providing rail temperature and crack detection data, the monitoring technology provides a clear map of miles of tracks and supports the early identification of potential problems. These data enable rail operators to prioritize maintenance, minimizing disruptions and preventing serious problems including derailment.
Directing resources to where most needed is beneficial in terms of increased efficiency and cost saving. It also supports compliance with the regulatory requirements to protect passengers. In short, digital monitoring supports safe and reliable transportation. Monitoring rail data over time can also provide a larger picture of wear patterns. This allows rail operators to accurately predict the likelihood of component failure, even before a problem is detected. TAICENN’s wide temperature embedded sheet is suitable for track and track monitoring equipment. Our embedded plates operate in a temperature range of-40 to 85 degrees with long-term availability and combined with TAICENN’s internal conformal coating is especially suitable for the railway industry. Our COM Express, PC104 module, and ETX wide-temperature embedded computational solutions are highly competitive and can meet small or bulk orders.
Passenger monitoring and Digital Signage computer system
Crowded platforms and high demand for seats make travelling through and by busy trains daunting. The Internet of Things provides passenger flow, capacity issues and solutions through on-vehicle security. Back in 2007, Dutch Railways first introduced public transport chip cards to replace tickets. Over time, these were supported by monitoring and the installation of Wi-Fi technology. Passenger flow to and from the country’s busiest stations has been monitored since 2013. Anonymous was maintained, and the data influenced the station design and train schedules. The same approach has now been adopted across Europe. Understanding passenger mobility patterns provides an opportunity to design and build features to better manage that traffic. Actions included improved resource allocation and responsive digital signage, moving passengers to different areas of the station. The data also highlights abnormal passenger behavior, which may indicate the problem prior to reporting. This allows for immediate action to minimize the impact.
On-board CCTV has also enhanced safety for passengers and railway employees. These on-board computers, in addition to providing evidence, also support accident prevention. TAICENN‘s embedded technology is capable of installing powerful and reliable on-board monitoring systems. Our wide-temperature fanless transport computer uses an Intel ® processor. They enable multiple CCTV devices to control from a single point or wireless operation on the train.
Embedded transport system
Investment in the digitization of railway systems will ensure that the railway network can respond to growing demand and provide safe, efficient and on-time passenger services. No one wants to see their trains being delayed, especially by the operators. With investment in embedded transport systems and data-driven digital infrastructure, the risk should decrease even if the number of passengers increases. TAICENN manufactures embedded solutions for digital signage, monitoring, and monitoring. These include box computers, touch touchscreen computers and embedded motherboards. Our railway computers are resistant to shocks, vibration, and extreme temperature changes. From ticketing and passenger flow, to tracking maintenance and security, our fanless transport computers are built specifically to meet the specific needs of the transport industry.
