Crew Voice and Video Recording System for Locomotives.
Voice and Video Recording of cab, pantograph, and track ahead for Safety

Railway operations require a post facto investigation of operational incidents for safety audit. Optitech Crew Voice and Video Recording System (CVVRS) for Locomotives is a high-reliability black box recording system based on Optitech’s PICCU EN50155 Railway Compute Platform. Its embedded audio enhancement algorithms enhance human speech by upto 12 dB over a background machine noise as high as 85dB. CVVRS systems Video Analytics identifies hot spots in catenary line pantograph interaction through spark detection while the Driver Alertness Monitoring software ensures an alert plot preventing SPAD and drowsiness

 
ITS Product Capabilities

Cab & Track Video Recording
Cab video synchronized with voice for post-incident investigations. Track surveillance prevents SPAD.
Pantograph Flashover Detection
AI detects flashover events and reports their geo-location to the Optitech Remote Monitoring Software.
AI-Enabled Speech Enhancement
Background noise reduced by up to 7dB and speech enhanced by up to 15dB for crystal-clear voice.
100% Redundant Mode Recording
Fault-tolerant dual-NVR system records continuously even if one NVR fails.
Interfacing to CHMD
Connects to CHMD to save last 30 minutes of video and audio in the crash-hardened recorder.
VMS Software Integration
Remote health monitoring, automated footage sync, flashover alerts, and drowsiness reporting.
Certifications
EN50155, EN45545 HL3, IEC certified for railway-grade reliability and safety.
