Scandinavian rail freight operator Hector Rail has announced the testing of the Digital Surveillance Camera System, also known as the rear-view camera, developed by Railway Metrics and Dynamics (RMD).
Aimed at enhancing safety and efficiency in rail freight operations, the trial starts this month and will run until March 2025.
The upcoming tests with RMD’s rear-view camera are part of Hector Rail’s commitment to improving operational safety, specifically during shunting activities.
The camera system is expected to reduce hazardous tasks, such as when personnel are required to stand on the last footboard of a reversing train.
Furthermore, the technology is anticipated to offer economic advantages by streamlining shunting procedures, reducing the need for personnel, and speeding up operations.
Alongside the testing agreement, Hector Rail has expressed interest in a broader range of RMD’s offerings, requesting a framework proposal for the company’s full suite of services and products.
