Automatic Selective Door Operation System

With our SIL 2 compliant, balise-free Automatic Selective Door Operation (ASDO) system here at Petards Rail, you can ensure the safe operation of train passenger doors at short platforms. This on-train digital technology is designed to combine multiple data sources automatically, so that doors which should not open at a stopping point can be swiftly identified.

Learn More About Our Automatic Selective Door Operation System

Able to be used flexibly by a rail fleet across peak and off-peak periods, our ASDO system can be controlled and managed by a train operator remotely using our eyeTrain Connect back-office software. In fact, no on-track or station hardware is required to be used to operate this solution – reducing the cost and time needed to deploy the system onto your fleet.

Train Safety & Surveillance systems 

Our ASDO system is just one of the advanced monitoring solutions that we have designed and delivered to leading rail operators. We also provide advanced CCTV, DCO, passenger counting and associated equipment. Plus, with decades of experience, we are trusted to combine innovation, compliance, and reliability to support safer, smarter rail networks. 

Key Features Of Our Automatic Selective Door Operation System

Longer trains can be immediately and safely deployed onto services where short passenger platforms are in operation using our fully autonomous, vehicle-based ASDO system. Some of the standout features of this technology includes:

Accurate Identification Of A Train’s Location

GNSS satellite input can be used to identify a train’s location, as well as speed and distance measurement derived from the vehicle odometry, for dead reckoning, even accounting for wheel slip for improved accuracy.

Utilise existing beacons where available

Common balise systems in industry can be integrated to the Petards ASDO system where available. No existing infrastructure needs to be wasted.

eyeTrain Modular ASDO System​

Petards Rail’s systems are designed to be modular and adaptable to functions and integration requirements. For instance, a typical standalone ASDO system can combine with our DCO, interior surveillance, forward facing, pantograph, track debris, and PTeye cameras, depending on your requirements.

Remotely Access and Control Data

Petards EyeBOS software allows you to view live footage on train and review important diagnostic information utilising any web based browser on any device.

Video search, viewing and export is possible thanks to our interior surveillance camera working with Petards eyeTrain CryptoVision software. Maintain a strong audit trail by detecting tampering of data and monitor traceability of data.

Streaming captured CCTV video to on-board devices and off train means that real-time decisions can be made about incidents that risk impacting passenger safety or operational reliability.
