Cisco has been partnering with transportation organisations across the globe for the past decade, moving the industry forward with technologies that can be integrated into existing and new infrastructure.
InnoTrans World Premiere
At InnoTrans we will be showcasing TSIP for the first time. TSIP (Train and Station Innovation for Performance) is a Network Rail initiative to trial technology solutions that will deliver quantifiable benefits and outcomes for the rail network. TSIP addresses real-world challenges with smart technology, bringing improvements to passenger experience, employee safety plus operations and maintenance.
As part of TSIP, Cisco is partnering not just with Network Rail Telecom, but with industry experts such as Intel, Telent, and Purple Transformation Group to help ideas become transformative solutions. Over 120 use case scenarios have already been identified to deliver improved performance and safety outcomes. TSIP will assess and develop these use cases focusing on economic, social and transport benefits.
Transforming IoT Data into Actionable Insights
One of the first innovative solutions from TSIP is the SiYtE platform. It utilises vision and IoT analytics to aggregate and visualise metadata from smart devices, providing the rail network with alerts and intelligence which is integral to all use cases.
