Tram drivers have to navigate highly complex, urban environments with multiple methods of transportation sharing the same infrastructure. Accidents can easily happen, incurring personal and material costs as well as causing delays and network disruptions. At OTIV, we help drivers navigate these complex environments with an assistance, remote control and autonomous driving systems.
Trams operate in the busiest environment of them all. Cars, buses, motorcycles, pedestrians, cyclists, traffic lights. A driver can only see and react to so many things, increasing the risk of accidents
Our solutions provide tram drivers with an extra set of eyes. We easily detect multiple objects and how they are moving. Either through signals or automatic braking we can help the tram driver make quicker and better informed decisions.
Delays can happen because of a multitude of reasons: traffic congestion, accidents, weather conditions, signaling failures and more.
Our solutions reduces delays by giving tram drivers better visibility to more easily detect obstructions, and to give them the ability to drive through any weather conditions, further decreasing delays.
Optimizing energy use is a key component in reducing operating costs on certain rail lines. Our solutions help calculate optimal cruising speed and the precise time and intensity to start braking and accelerating depending on tram stops, reducing energy expenditure to a minimum.
On other lines, you want to maximize capacity because of the value you get from shipping more passenger and goods. Through remote control or full autonomy, OTIV helps you employ the maximum of rail vehicles possible.
