We love the challenge of a customer’s problem. Why? It’s an opportunity for a true collaborative partnership. We enjoy the exchange of ideas, whether we’re developing a brand new technology or applying existing technologies in innovative new ways.

Sometimes, the resulting solution benefits not only the individual customer, but the entire rail industry as well. But proof is in performance, so we want to share actual case studies with you. These describe the initial challenge that the customer brought to GE and how—together—we arrived at the desired results.

These studies are chronicled on their own website that showcases the power of collaboration. Visit www.together.getransportation.com and take a global trek across some of GE’s most recent partnering with the world’s railroads. You’ll see we go to great lengths to help our customers succeed.

itcs

GE’s ITCS uses existing signals or creates its own virtual signals to incrementally control the train movement with wireless communication as though the territory was operating under centralized traffic control. Safety improves through onboard display and enforcement of all speed limits on a given territory.
Axle counter

GE's SCA equipment is designed to the highest safety standard (CENELEC SIL 4) and provides reliable track occupancy detection. The unit consists of an Axle Counter Unit (ACU) in a way side enclosure and one ore more Axle Detection Points (ADP) located at the boundries of the track sections. The Versatile SCA can be configured for point-to-point or multi-point track sections, counting the number of axles on a specific train or total axles present within one or more track sections.
