Even though railway technology continues to advance, accidents still occur frequently. Between 2017 and 2024, a total of 16,642 train accidents occurred in the United States, resulting in numerous casualties and substantial financial losses. The emergence and development of artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data have provided the rail sector with opportunities to advance future trains and railways, particularly in AI behavior analysis, train diagnostics, and cybersecurity. As a leading supplier to the rail industry for decades, Axiomtek provides complete railway embedded solutions and leverages its field-proven technologies in AI, IoT, and edge computing to improve rail operations and maintenance.
Driver and Passenger Behavior Analysis
The integration of edge AI systems and onboard surveillance applications enables the detection and analysis of drivers’ and passengers’ behavior, triggering alerts in the event of potential risks. At the same time, it enhances passenger convenience by providing real-time updates on seat occupancy status.
UST510-52B-FL: High Performance, Compact Size, and Rugged Design
High Performance Intel Processor
The UST510-52B-FL is powered by the Intel® Xeon® processor with up to 65 W TDP. It delivers high-performance image processing capabilities with two DDR4 system memory slots supporting up to 64 GB, which can be further enhanced with an accelerator module via an M.2 or PCIe Mini Card slot.
8 PoE Ports
The UST510-52B-FL features eight PoE ports to support the IP cameras. Thus, the cameras can be deployed to multiple cars and run real-time surveillance.
Storage Expansion
The UST510-52B-FL is equipped with one M.2 Key B 3050 slot for a 5G module. It also offers two hot-swappable 2.5-inch SATA drives with Intel® RAID 0/1 support, as well as two mSATA slots for additional storage.
Onboard Diagnosis and Predictive Maintenance
The evolution of IoT has transformed routine maintenance into predictive maintenance, enabling the early detection of potential malfunctions or maintenance needs. Through signal and data analysis, train operators can gain insights into the bogie or axle status via software, allowing for immediate problem resolution.
tBOX110: Recommended for Railway Predictive Maintenance
Rich I/O for Various Applications
The tBOX110 offers a rich set of I/O interfaces. It features two CANBus ports, two high-speed COM ports, two LAN ports, two USB 3.0 ports, and 6-in/2-out DIO, making it ready for additional peripherals and serving as a cost-effective gateway for collecting multiple digitalized signals.
Compact Size with Rugged Design
The tBOX110 measures only 16.4 × 12.8 × 4.4 cm. However, to withstand the challenging environments encountered as railways extend to remote locations around the world, the tBOX110 is designed to operate reliably under a wide temperature range from -40°C to 70°C.
2 Mounting Choices
The tBOX110 supports two mounting choices, DIN-rail or wall-mount, to make the installation more flexible in the space-constrained train cabin.
Railway Cybersecurity
In today's rolling stock systems, firewalls play a critical role. With sensors, devices, and systems interconnected and exposed to the Internet, they become vulnerable to cyber threats. Installing a firewall system to safeguard the central control unit is a recommended solution to prevent potential malfunctions in trains.
tBOX520: High-Performance Modular Embedded System Designed for Railway
High Performance Intel Processor
The tBOX520, powered by the 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 or Celeron® processor, stands out with its versatile VAM choices, making it the preferred hardware firewall for system integrators.
Scalable VAM for Customization
The tBOX520 has two slots for value-added modules, which support LAN ports, CANBus, or PoE, offering flexible options. For uninterrupted firewall functionality, we recommend adding two VAM708 modules with four M12 A-code LAN ports and two LAN Bypass.
Railway Standards
The tBOX520 is EN 50155 and EN 45545-2 certified and can operate under a wide temperature range from -40°C to +70°C. It ensures reliable performance with intelligent power management features, including ACC on/off delay, shutdown delay, and over/under voltage protection. The system also supports a 24 V to 110 V DC power input for rolling stock applications.
