Rolling Stock

Rolling stock requires reliable control and protection of safety-critical functions throughout the vehicle lifecycle. HIMA safety platforms provide the certified technology foundation for onboard safety systems and can be integrated into wider vehicle control architectures, including Train Control and Management Systems (TCMS).

Built on proven safety technology, HIMatrix and HIMax can be used for both standalone and integrated onboard safety applications. Their flexible system architecture enables safety functions to be adapted to vehicle-specific requirements while maintaining high levels of safety, reliability and compliance with railway standards. They provide a scalable foundation for both new vehicle programmes and long-term fleet operation.

Modern railway operations increasingly depend on the reliable exchange of information between rolling stock and railway infrastructure. TrackLink technologies enable track-to-train applications such as Automatic Selective Door Opening (ASDO), Correct Side Door Enabling (CSDE), Automatic Power Change Over (APCO) and Automatic Power Mode Change (APMC).

By connecting onboard systems with trackside information, TrackLink enables location-dependent functions that support efficient and reliable railway operations across mainline, metro, urban rail and tram environments.

Rolling stock remains in service for decades, creating continuous requirements for technology upgrades, modernization and lifecycle support. HIMA platforms provide a stable and scalable foundation for modernizing safety-critical systems while maintaining continued operation and compliance with evolving railway requirements.

Flexible architectures, open integration concepts and long-term lifecycle support help operators and manufacturers incorporate new technologies, respond to changing operational needs and maintain safe and reliable rolling stock throughout the entire vehicle lifecycle.

Beyond safety control, modern rolling stock environments require visibility into operational status, system performance and vehicle condition. Applications such as Train Control & Management Systems (TCMS), Remote Condition Monitoring Systems (RCMS), Vehicle HMI, Event Recorders and Onboard CCTV contribute to a connected operational environment.

Together, these capabilities provide insight into vehicle operation, support condition monitoring and create a consistent operational view across the fleet, helping operators manage rolling stock more effectively throughout its lifecycle.
