Intelligent Surveillance Solution for Passengers Safety

The safety of passengers and drivers aboard public transport has been the ongoing focus of mass transit operations worldwide. Within Taiwan, the Metro Taipei and the Department of Rapid Transit Systems (DORTS) began to pay attention to surveillance systems due to multiple random attacks in the metro system. They have invested in the newest onboard surveillance system incorporating transportation-certified computer hardware, security software, cameras, and other components to create an effective onboard surveillance system for the Taipei MRT (Massive Rapid Transit).

Challenges: The demand for public transport safety management varies with complexity; typically, more than a single unit or system could achieve the entire job. Therefore, the integration of the system platform along with railway electromechanical design has become a significant task. A professional system integrator with excellent system integration capabilities, rich experiences, and a hardware supplier offering high-quality products is indispensable.

For 25 years, Axiomtek has been providing advanced computer solutions purposely designed for the transportation industry and beyond. Our transportation-embedded systems and GOT710 panel PC comply with many safety standards and pass EN certification tests designed for the operational safety of railway equipment.

Our tBOX products are explicitly designed as train-embedded controllers, while our robust panel computers (GOTs) are designed as an all-in-one train operator interface. Understanding the need for an advanced PTC system that ensures operational reliability in rugged environments with high vibration such as those experienced on board a train, these two product lines offer key solutions that include vibration resistance features, i.e., M12 connectors, lockable I/O, solid state disk drive. They have been tested and met the essential railway safety standards such as EN50155 and EN45545. The tBOX and GOT product lines offer extended operating temperature ranges, rich I/Os, and robust and reliable performance. They are made specifically to be integrated into complete PTC and surveillance systems.
