Monitoring & Diagnostics

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) support train operators by improving safety, reducing costs, optimising energy use and enhancing operational efficiency. These systems may include automated warnings, speed supervision, hazard detection and performance monitoring to assist with safe and efficient train operation.

Condition monitoring solutions use sensors and data analytics to assess the health of railway assets – from rolling stock components such as bogies and wheels to track and infrastructure elements like points and switches. By detecting wear or faults early, these systems enable planned maintenance, prevent critical failures, minimise delays and provide valuable insights into asset performance over time.

Cybersecurity is vital as more aspects of rail operations become digital. A hacked operating system can cause disruption, damage infrastructure, harm people and damage a brand’s reputation. Operational and information technologies often share environments, creating attack routes through systems such as Wi-Fi, infotainment, CCTV or passenger information. Suppliers in this category provide solutions to protect railway assets, detect threats and respond to incidents effectively.

Suppliers in this category provide sensors for railway infrastructure and rolling stock, including condition monitoring, acceleration, temperature, CO₂, VOC and rotation rate sensors. Many also offer customised solutions to meet specific operational needs as well as sensor maintenance services.

Suppliers in this category provide equipment that helps train operators and infrastructure managers monitor their surroundings and detect obstacles. Products include external cameras, mirrors and sensors designed to improve safety and operational awareness.

Surveillance / CCTV allows for visual and audio recordings over priority areas. This page contains all the latest information, news, videos, images and articles on all aspects of Rail Surveillance / CCTV. You will also find a list of Rail Surveillance / CCTV suppliers from around the world.

Suppliers in this category provide telematics and asset tracking solutions for the rail sector, including train management and vehicle location systems. These systems transmit real-time information such as location, temperature, humidity and incident data to support operational efficiency, asset management and fleet movement control. They help operators monitor train positions, manage fleet operations, optimise schedules and respond quickly to delays or disruptions, using technologies such as GPS tracking, automatic location reporting and integrated control platforms.

Train health monitoring systems continuously assess the condition of rolling stock components to detect faults, wear and performance issues before they lead to failures. These solutions use sensors, diagnostics and data analytics to monitor elements such as bogies, wheels, braking systems and power units. Suppliers in this category offer real-time monitoring technologies that support predictive maintenance and operational reliability.

Train management and vehicle location systems provide real-time tracking of rolling stock across the rail network. These solutions help operators monitor train positions, manage fleet movements, optimise operations and respond quickly to delays or disruptions. Suppliers in this category offer technologies such as GPS tracking, automatic location reporting and fleet control platforms.
