Metrom Rail, a developer and integrator of rail safety technology, announced the release of a new, modular and cost-effective PTC solution that can be implemented without significant impact on train throughput.
Designed for transit lines that don’t share track with freight trains, the AURA Positive Train Control System provides collision avoidance, speed and signal compliance, precision berthing, and worker protection in both above and underground environments. Its modular design ensures seamless integration with both new and existing transit rail systems. Further, it utilizes wireless sensor systems that do not require centralized back-office operations.
The AURA PTC System offers ease of installation. The solution also ensures signal compliance, speed limit adherence, separation enforcement and position monitoring by sounding a warning if a train operator violates operation rules. If, in response, the operator takes no action, the AURA system will decelerate or stop the train. Additionally, the AURA system comes equipped with a data recorder to enable transit agencies to monitor train and operator activity and performance.
The full AURA System includes stand-alone collision avoidance and worker protection products in addition to the comprehensive PTC solution. All Metrom Rail solutions are developed in-house and can be easily customized to address the specific needs and requirements of transit agencies.
