Long-Range Digital and Blind-Spot Visibility
Onboard Positive Switch Position Confirmation, Alerts of Unforeseen Track Obstructions, and All Weather and Railway Blind Spot Visibility
AVANTE created a safety “envelope”, or “moving block system or communication based control system” that provides visibility and moves with the train in meeting the basic mandates of Positive Train Control (PTC):
1. Speed protection and restriction:
- Each rail line block is individually geo-tagged with a specific speed limit monitored by both onboard AVANTE & RELAYER-CONTROLLER.
- Automatic activation of the braking system to slow or stop the train after a defined period of buzzer alerts to the train engineer.
2. Integrated Onboard and Track Side Blind Spot Visibility System to Prevent On Track Collisions:
- High resolution and long range optical Infrared Radar (Doppler) imaging provides up to 5 kilometers visibility, onboard computer as well as automatic alerts and control.
- Track side AVANTE Railway Blind Spot Visibility System located at blind spots for complete visibility.
3. Track Integrity and Switch Point Sensor Network to Provide Additional Safety:
- AVANTE Rail Track Integrity Sensors provide round-the-clock monitoring of rail gauge, rail distortion and destruction reported in real-time to alert oncoming trains.
- AVANTE Switch Point Monitoring Sensor Device provides real-time data on switch point positions independently to oncoming trains as well as the control center.
