SIL-certified train protection — enforcing movement authority, preventing collisions, and safeguarding operations in real time.
In safety-critical rail environments, the consequences of failure are operational, financial, and reputational. ART’s Active Train Control System is built on the same principles as modern PTC and ETCS Level 2 architectures — delivering equivalent safety outcomes without the complexity and rigidity of legacy OEM platforms.
The system operates seamlessly across dark territory and signalled networks, supporting equipped and non-equipped locomotives simultaneously. This hybrid capability enables a progressive migration from existing infrastructure toward a fully communications-based architecture — at each operator’s own pace, without disrupting live operations.
The result is mission-critical protection that enforces movement authority, speed limits, and braking curves in real time — for freight, passenger, and mixed-traffic networks where safe operations are the non-negotiable baseline.
– Real-time movement authority enforcement
– Continuous speed supervision and automatic braking intervention
– Collision risk prevention across equipped and non-equipped consists
– Hybrid operation in dark territory and CTC signalled networks
– Electronic train order management with full audit trail
– Maintenance of way personnel protection (mobile solution)
– Centralized network control display with full operational visibility
– Configurable alarm system with role-based access control
Engineered for mission-critical environments — where a single uncontrolled movement has consequences that cannot be undone.
operator-facing control center platform for train tracking, movement authority, and network supervision
the certified safety kernel at the core of the system. A SIL 2 ready generic product already proven in real operations.
onboard system for in-cab authority display, speed enforcement, and event recording. Available in Basic Integrity and SIL 4 ready configurations — allowing progressive certification without rip-and-replace.

Modular, scalable, and engineered for operational continuity — from a single corridor to a national freight network.
– Overlay on existing infrastructure — no mandatory signal replacement in Phase 1
– Brownfield compatibility — operates with non-equipped locomotives during transition
– Corridor-based rollout — phased implementation preserving initial investment
– Seamless evolution path toward communications-based Phase 2 architecture
– Integrates with Movement Planner, Yard Management System, and third-party operational platforms via standard interfaces
Modern protection without operational disruption — and a clear upgrade path that protects every investment made.
Global OEMs deliver standardized platforms.
ART delivers operational alignment — a system built around real railway workflows, real communication environments, and real-world deployment constraints.
ART’s Active Train Control System is not a proof of concept.
It is a proven operational foundation, deployed across multiple continents in mission-critical freight operations.
