An Enhanced and Total Positive Train Control System
The demand for rail safety has spiked tremendously over the past few decades, particularly with recent accidents plaguing domestic transit rails. AVANTE recognizes the Federal Railroad Association’s commitment to protect train engineers and riders with its new mandate on positive train control (PTC). Our system seeks to fulfill this challenge by offering cheaper installation costs and a less labor-intensive solution. It is designed with drivers, passengers, and rail operations in mind, ensuring that reporting and maintenance are as efficient as possible.
AVANTE’s solution, which utilizes independent location sensors located on trains and rail lines, provides real-time alerts for hazards along the rails. It also relays information between trains, translating adjustments in data between drivers. Using a combination of Infrared laser cameras and Doppler radars, AVANTE grants drivers and command centers optimal levels of vision, providing visibility in the strongest storms or the tightest of blind-spots.
Our systems are versatile, acting as a complete positive train control network or as a compliment to existing PTC systems. AVANTE tailors a solution based on customer need. We strive to meet requirements, in whatever regard you need us. To meet this challenge, our solutions offer you a wide range of supplements and compliments to your rail safety projects:
- Our patented Relayer-Controller system that acts like a “safety envelope”.
- Our Rail Visibility, utilizing a combination of Doppler radar, Infrared and Optical (DRIRO) imaging technology.
- Onboard RIM Module, which tracks rail conditions and adjusts track positioning accordingly.
- Rail Tracking and Monitoring, which alerts both the train and command center of any speed violations and corrects errors as they happen.
PTC implementation is imperative to the survival of transit rails and the safety of its precious cargo. We are confident that our solutions will bring the necessary stability to an industry that demands safety overhauls.
