Smart Rail Monitoring System
Railway infrastructure is a kind of physical asset that is used for the operation of the railway. Those railway infrastructures can comprise not only railway lines, structures, buildings and equipment, but also the corresponding land, located on railway premises. They are designed for the management of passenger or freight transport and maintenance.
With years of experience, Vecow has been leading the way with a broad range of rugged, customized, high-quality products and services. Vecow has developed a purpose-built platform for the China market.
With almost 3.66 billion people traveling by train, the China railways plays a critical role for people’s daily lives and the safety of the passengers has to be ensured. Moreover, to guarantee the safe operation of these railways, and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of rail management, rugged, high-performance and reliable embedded systems are crucial.
Pantograph Diagnostic System
Pantograph is a device that is mounted on the roof of an electric train to collect power through contact with an overhead line. If pantographs fail, this may cause a significant impact on all rail traffic. However, manual inspections are costly in labor and reduce the efficient operation of the train system because the train is needed at the station not out of service for repairs.
Thanks to innovative technologies such as the Internet of Thing and Artificial Intelligent, automatic pantograph inspection with machine vision systems enables the detection of incorrect or defective pantographs at the early stage through gathering image data captured by a camera and automatically report to the control center for further analysis. The operator of the train can take action to fix the problems reflexive onboard when a pantograph defect is detected and ensures safe and reliable operation.
Obstacle Detect and Tracking System
The obstacle monitoring system plays a role for efficiently avoiding a number of accidents resulting in injury or death on rail tracks. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, the machine vision systems gather information, detect obstacles, predict the danger ahead for the train driver and then pass reliable information to the driver in advance. Based on the received data, triggering actions will be performed. The train driver can control the train based on the information passed by the system and ensures safety operation and the train can be stopped to avoid accidents. The GPS, RFID, Bluetooth, WiFi and integrated sensors can be used by the embedded systems for automated intelligent obstacle monitoring.

Intelligent Connectivity Makes Travel Safer and More Comfortable
Passenger information systems plays a crucial role in public transportation, not only for the passengers, but also the rail operators. Passenger information system (PIS) refers to an automated system that provides information about the nature and state of a public transportation service through visual, voice, or other media. The system enables users of public transportation to have access to relevant data that forecasts arrivals, departures, and emergency notices.
Passenger information systems can be used in two ways. The first is external, at rail stations where the passengers are waiting for their train to arrive. The second is internal, installed in the train where the passengers expect real-time, precise information about their location, arrival time and outside train situations such as temperature, weather, etc.
Apart from provision of accurate and appropriate information, passengers would be pleased to have seamless connectivity for safe and comfortable travel through WiFi hot spot services, enabling their access to the modern entertainment and communication content that we all enjoy.
Key features of passenger information system
- High-performance computing for data processing, analytics, and monitoring
- Anti-shock and anti-vibration and easy field replacement
- Wide range power voltage
- Wide operating temperature
- Supports seamless connectivity

Smart Data Collection and Signal Control in Railway
With many years of experience and expertise in railway applications, the Vecow team is developing robust and reliable industrial-grade embedded computing systems designed for railways. Vecow has developed a purpose-built platform for the India market
Indian: among the world’s largest rail network
India's railway network is recognized as one of the largest railway systems in the world. Its has a total route length network of about 1,23,236 kms, with 13,452 passenger trains and 9,141 freight train.
In the next five years, the Indian railway market will be the third largest, accounting for 10 percent of the global market. Indian Railways, which is one of the country’s biggest employers, can generate one million jobs, according to Mr. Piyush Goyal, Union Minister for Railways and Coal. Indian Railways is targeting to increase its freight traffic to 3.3 billion tonnes by 2030 from 1.1 billion tonnes in 2017.
Indian Railways has implemented RFID technology on its tracks to capture the location of its train cars, with a total of 24,000 cars and some cargo cars marked. The solution adopts the GS1 standard, configures readers, control center servers, and fixed software running on portable devices
Railway IoT data collection and signaling control
The management department can view the latest maintenance location and maintenance history of each car through the reader. This not only helps to ensure the normal operation of the carriage but also can be maintained and monitored according to the usage, conditions, and maintenance schedule.
Each RFID tag can store maintenance data. Labels are attached to both sides of each car and the bottom railing. The fixed reader is installed on the side of the track, and the training tag will be located one meter away from the equipment. Each antenna is mounted on a pole on either side of the track, several feet high. The reader captures the tag ID of each carriage, uses its built-in computer to manage the read data, and sends it to the IR central control center server via GSM or DMA cellular connection. The staff uses a portable reader to read and write data and connect via Bluetooth.
As the carriage enters the reading range of the reader, the unique ID number encoded on each tag will be captured, and then sent to the host server through a variety of connection technologies, and then the data is sent to the personal mobile device application. The staff will be alerted when the train is approaching to the station. When the train leaves the station, the reader will collect the vehicle ID to update the software.
The RFID system will enable the Indian Railways to have a so-called "Rolling Stock Master Data System", which can manage the condition, position, and movement trajectory of each carriage throughout its life. This is important for railway services because it ensures timely and safe transportation.
