The Significance of Railway Touchscreen Monitor
 

Modern trains are equipped with increasingly intelligent subsystems to meet the demand for improved performance, safety, and comfort. From surveillance systems inside and outside the train to operational status management, a reliable touchscreen monitor helps the operator improve operational efficiency and safety, enabling real-time control and monitoring.

Challenges
 

The customer, a train manufacturer, was looking for a railway-grade high-brightness monitor with a rugged design capable of accommodating a wide voltage input. This requirement stemmed from the intricate system design integrating multiple cameras and switches. The monitor enables train drivers to effortlessly switch between cameras using touch screens, facilitating convenient monitoring of events surrounding the train.

 
Main Requirements
  • EN 50155 & EN 45545-2 certified railway monitor
  • 10.4" high brightness TFT touchscreen LCD
  • Supports light sensors for auto-dimming function
  • 24 VDC to 110 VDC wide power input range
 
The EN 50155 Certified Touchscreen Monitor with User-Friendly Features

The railway-certified P710 is integrated with cameras and switches to monitor the surrounding and indoor environments. As the cameras were installed at the front of the locomotives, the night vision and wide-angle view allowed the operator to monitor the track and surroundings clearly to prevent accidents. The P710's touchscreen interface provides an intuitive and user-friendly way for the operator to control the cameras and access critical information and controls, enabling fast reaction in emergencies and ensuring a safe ride.
