Services
Railway Signaling
Design and implementation of safety-critical railway signaling systems using relay and microprocessor-based technologies. Our solutions integrate vital processors, track circuits, and highway crossing equipment from leading vendors to ensure compliance with industry standards. We specialize in both legacy system upgrades and new installations for commuter rail and light rail networks.
Control Systems
End-to-end control system development for transit operations including central control centers and localized monitoring platforms. Our engineers create scalable architectures that unify SCADA, traction power management, and communications infrastructure through open-architecture frameworks compatible with existing Thales and Alstom systems.
GPS Tracking
Advanced GPS-based train location tracking systems with real-time SQL database integration. Our solutions enable precise asset management through customizable interfaces that display train positions, crew assignments, and operational status across multiple lines and jurisdictions.
Communications Engineering
Comprehensive communications infrastructure planning for transit environments including fiber optics, SONET transmission, and wireless networks. We implement secure, redundant systems for CCTV, public address, emergency telephones, and data acquisition across underground, aerial, and surface rail corridors.
Commissioning Services
Full lifecycle commissioning of rail control systems from prototype testing to field deployment. Our team provides installation supervision, functional testing, and documentation for vital and non-vital microprocessor equipment upgrades, ensuring seamless integration with existing infrastructure and operational continuity.
