Solutions that can enhance situational awareness

EN4CER Suite

en4cer-100

Automatic train protection (atp)

EN4CER provides a braking application using a SIL-4 safety computer to enforce a customer’s business rules to protect a train.

en4cer-200

horus vision and perception system

Provides real-time monitoring, and object or hazard detection. Data is processed onboard with an AI-powered computer and can interface to any existing automatic train protection.

en4cer-300

advanced driver advisory system

Combines onboard ATP and HORUS perception functionality to provide a complete onboard solution. Real-time warnings and alerts are presented to the train driver.

Other solutions

Corridor intrusion detection

Using HORUS to detect and classify intrusions in the rail corridor or potential hazards and their relationship to rail danger zones.

Meet HORUS

4AI Systems’ forward-facing perception system called HORUS collects data from multiple sensors including cameras, navigation systems, accelerometers, radar and more. This data is fused onboard in real-time to create a situational picture. This picture is then compared to the reference infrastructure data for each line to identify any differences.

The system may identify previously learned objects or alert a train operator that an unidentifiable object or hazard on the track has been detected. HORUS has many capabilities that may apply to any vehicle that travels on a rail track.

OBJECT CLASSIFICATION

Detect and classify objects in the corridor in real-time.

We transform your rail network with smart AI technology that detects and classifies objects and hazards in real-time. Our vision systems enable operators to make better-informed decisions to realise greater operational outcomes.

All-Weather Detection

Unlike humans, our vision systems can detect objects in all weather conditions - rain, hail, snow or shine and more.

Network Hazards

Recognise abnormalities in rail conditions or object hazards before they interrupt rail operations.

Tunnel Operations

HORUS can operate within tunnels and low light situations with advanced sensors specifically selected for this environment.

continuous learning

Rail intelligence that grows with you.

Machine learning algorithms allow HORUS to understand and grow with your network. Continued processing and learning allows for greater detection over time, and eventually, analysis of ideal and abnormal operating conditions.

Master Sequence

Central database that is updated as the AI learns, storing and interpreting its collected data.

Built-In Adaptability

HORUS Recognises a multitude of objects and hazards and continues to learn over time.

Deployment flexibility

Flexibly configured for your network's needs

We understand every rail network is unique. Our solutions have been designed with integration in mind.

Guided Consultation

We provide assistance and recommendations based on the needs, budget and scope of your business objectives.

Back-end Integration

Our EN4CER suite can integrate into existing backend and business systems allowing a more complete system for decision making.

Operational benefits

Greater efficiency across your rail network

1.

Reduced Rail Infrastructure

Users can identify their operating track and location with very high confidence, meaning that track-based location methods using track-circuit detection are no longer needed in all situations.

2.

Greater Awareness

HORUS performs monitoring and functions 24/7 relentlessly, without interruptions or fatigue. This provides the driver with greater awareness of their surroundings.

3.

Continuous Improvement

With continuous machine learning, HORUS also improves in capability the more times a route is operated. The track and route data files are updated with every train movement. 

4.

Shared Knowledge​

HORUS can share any hazard or track difference with any other rollingstock via communications, without that rollingstock having to operate the track first.  All route knowledge is shareable in real time without further learning. 

Our mission

To empower people to make better, data-driven decisions across rail operations.
