Security

We listen to deliver railway security

Our security application monitors entire rail routes for activities that pose a threat to rail infrastructure and operations which include:

  • Trespass & Human Intrusion
  • Vehicle Intrusion and Object Drop Detection
  • Fence Climbing
  • Manual & Mechanical Digging
  • Cable theft

Integration with current and new technologies further enhances situational awareness and enables a timely and precise response

  • CCTV Integration
  • Drone Response Integration

Realtime security information helps railway personnel make better tactical and strategic decisions. Integration with CCTV and/or drones enables railway personnel to identify and respond to imminent dangers and threats whilst also gathering critical evidence. Strategic use enables intelligence to be gathered over time to build risk profiles, to identify trends and patterns of suspicious activities, and to assess the effectiveness of security measures implemented.

The Sensonic Innovation Farm in Hampshire is our dedicated fiber optic test facility for Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS). Spanning over 12 km of buried optical fiber in varied environments, it provides a safe, railway-free space to develop, test, and refine monitoring applications. The farm helps accelerate innovation, improve railway safety, and train partners without disrupting live rail operations.

Vibration based insights to secure railway infrastructure

  • 24/7 covert surveillance of rail assets
  • Realtime comprehensive monitoring of long and remote areas
  • Base security intelligence on current activity patterns and trends
  • Target preventative security measures effectively based on risk data

We are enabling better decisions for railways.
