Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are systems aimed at helping train operators, e.g. in terms of safety, but also with cost reduction, energy usage and improved operational management. Such systems provide automatic warning and supervision functions, among other things.
-
Condition Monitoring
Condition Monitoring uses sensors and data to assess the condition of all manner of assets on the railway, either on rolling stock, such as bogies and wheels, or on the track and infrastructure, such as points/switches. Condition monitoring allows asset managers and operators to maintain, repair or replace their assets before a critical failure occurs. It can therefore be planned, avoiding delays. The data gathered can also give valuable insight into the behaviour of assets.

Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important as more and more aspects of rail operations become digital. A hacked operating system can lead to disruption, infrastructure damage, harm to people and brand damage. Operational technologies and information technologies often share physical environments, opening up numerous attack avenues through the wifi and infotainment system, the CCTV or passenger information system, to name but a few. Transport companies have to have resilient cybersecurity systems in place so they can protect their assets and detect and respond to incidents appropriately. This section covers suppliers who provide cybersecurity solutions as well as the latest cybersecurity news in the rail sector.
-
Environmental Monitoring
The suppliers in this category manufacture products that help train operating companies and infrastructure managers monitor the environment they work in. These include external cameras, mirrors and other railway sensors that help with obstacle detection.
-
Railway Sensors
The suppliers listed under Railway Sensors manufacture sensors for the rail sector, both for infrastructure and rolling stock applications, such as condition-monitoring sensors, acceleration sensors, temperature, CO2 or VOC sensors, or rotation-rate sensors. Suppliers might also provide customised solution, depending on customer need and provide sensor maintenance services.
-
Telematics & Asset Tracking
The suppliers in this category provide telematics and asset tracking solutions for the rail sector. Such solutions transmit train and freight car information in real-time, e.g. location data, temperature and humidity data or incident data.
