Sensonic
Monitoring Railway Infrastructure Security
The Sensonic Security Application supports railway operators and security managers in protecting critical railway infrastructure components:
- Prevent disruptions to railway operations
- Maintain safety of railway assets and passengers
- Prevent damage or loss of railway property
The Sensonic Solution monitors entire routes for activities that may pose a threat to security. These include human footsteps, ground digging, fence climbing, or cable tampering. This information helps railway personnel respond to imminent danger. It also enables railway security officers to build intelligence over time regarding trends and patterns of suspicious activities along the railway network.
Vibration-based Insights for Security Surveillance
- 24×7 Surveillance of railway environment using Fiber-Optic Sensing

Technology
Sensonic pioneers new technologies, making it possible to monitor your entire railway network at any given moment in time. From the vibration along your network, we create a digital twin and derive highly valuable, actionable information that will take your operations to the next level.
- Holistic 24/7 view of all changes in track condition and activities along your network
- Generate reports and forecasts by combining live data with historical data
The Sensonic Solution’s capability to achieve this roots in the use of Fiber Optic Sensing (FOS).
- Turns existing fiber optic cables into a longitudinal acoustic sensor
- One edge device covers 80 km of track
- Detect any train without specific onboarding equipment
- Minimal investment and follow-up costs compared to pure on-board and other on-track solutions
- Simple and quick rollout: just power, internet and fiber optic cables are needed
