EN50155 Standard

EN50155 is a European standard that regulates the quality and durability of electronic equipment used in railway applications. Its goal is to ensure that onboard electronic devices, such as routers, switches, and communication systems, can operate safely and reliably under the extreme conditions typical of the railway environment.

This standard requires that equipment be capable of withstanding constant vibrations and shocks, as well as extreme temperatures ranging from very low to very high. Additionally, devices must have a high IP protection rating, ensuring resistance against dust and moisture—common factors in railway environments. Another critical aspect is the use of M12 connectors, which guarantee secure and stable connections under high-motion and mechanical stress conditions.

The key features of equipment designed for the rail transport sector are intended to ensure reliable and safe performance. These solutions not only guarantee operational continuity but also help to improve the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of rail transport. Below are the essential characteristics that make these solutions an ideal choice for the rail environment.

• Robustness and Durability: Equipment designed to withstand vibrations, impacts, and extreme environmental conditions, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.
• Energy Efficiency: Systems optimized to reduce energy consumption and minimize operational costs.
• Advanced Connectivity: Integration of smart technologies that enable real-time communication between vehicles, stations, and control centers.
• Automation and Remote Control: Tools that facilitate the monitoring and diagnostics of equipment, enabling predictive maintenance and greater operational availability.
• Enhanced Safety: Solutions that prioritize passenger protection and operations through monitoring systems and emergency response capabilities.
• Scalability and Customization: Modular equipment that adapts to the specific needs of the rail operator, allowing easy integration with existing systems.
• Long-Term Reliability: Extended lifecycles that ensure investment protection and continuous operation under the demands of mass transit.

Passenger Information Systems (PIS)

Digital displays and mobile applications provide passengers with real-time information about schedules, delays, route changes, and arrival times. This enhances the user experience and facilitates the management of transportation operators.

Passenger Capacity Control in Public Transport

Implementation of cameras and sensors in stations and vehicles to monitor the number of passengers in real-time. This aids in capacity management, preventing overcrowding and improving user comfort and safety.

Energy Consumption Reduction

Implementation of energy management systems in trains and trams, using sensors to monitor energy consumption and optimize usage based on demand, reducing costs and environmental impact.

Rail Fleet Tracking Systems

Tracking and fleet management solutions allow for real-time monitoring of trains, optimizing routes and ensuring schedule compliance. This improves operational efficiency, reduces downtime, and ensures greater safety in rail operations.

Predictive Maintenance for Trains and Tracks

Predictive maintenance uses sensors and real-time data to monitor the condition of train components. AI analyzes this data to identify patterns and warning signals that may indicate potential failures before they occur. This reduces downtime, optimizes operational costs, and improves rail transportation safety.
