About Universal Signalling
Universal Signalling is developing a modular Universal Interlocking system using low-cost commercial off-the-shelf components to create a digital signalling solution for the railway industry. This technology reduces the time and cost associated with traditional signalling design, installation, and testing, enabling trains to operate safely as soon as the track is laid.
```xml <problem> Traditional railway signalling systems are expensive, require extensive design and installation time, and often rely on proprietary components, hindering rapid deployment and modernization of rail infrastructure. This can delay the introduction of new rail services and increase the overall cost of railway projects. </problem> <solution> Universal Signalling is developing a modular, digital railway signalling system that utilizes commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components to reduce the time and cost associated with traditional signalling. Their Universal Interlocking system aims to provide a rapidly deployable and cost-effective solution for railway signalling, enabling faster infrastructure upgrades and new service implementations. The system is designed to be easily installed and configured, allowing trains to operate safely shortly after track installation. By employing a unique blend of technology, an innovative operating model, and an open interface specification, Universal Signalling seeks to revolutionize the railway signalling market. </solution> <features> - Modular design using low-cost, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components - Rapid deployment and installation, reducing project timelines from months/years to days - Universal Interlocking architecture enabling deployment without custom design - Open interface specification for interoperability with existing railway systems - Software underpinnings leveraging QNX for safety-critical applications - System demonstrator showcasing speed supervision of multiple vehicles </features> <target_audience> The primary target audience includes railway operators, infrastructure managers, and rail project developers seeking cost-effective and rapidly deployable signalling solutions for new and existing rail lines. </target_audience> ```
