Railways, a fundamental component of transportation infrastructure, consist of interconnected tracks and trains facilitating the movement of passengers and freight. Found in urban and rural landscapes, railways offer efficient and reliable transportation, connecting cities, regions, and countries. They provide a sustainable mode of travel, reducing carbon emissions and easing traffic congestion.
Advanced access control systems are pivotal for the security and operational efficiency of railways. Utilizing technologies like biometrics, keycards, or mobile applications, these systems regulate entry to crucial areas such as control rooms, tracks, and maintenance facilities. This precision in access control enhances safety, prevents unauthorized access to sensitive infrastructure, and ensures the smooth functioning of railway operations.
Additionally, it contributes to passenger safety and data protection, making advanced access control systems indispensable for the modern and secure operation of railway networks.
The transport industry stands out with the sheer size of its infrastructure. For instance, the hundreds of miles of fencing along a railway line and the hundreds of gates need high levels of protection. These outdoor facilities are at the mercy of the weather, be it extreme sunshine, snow or salt. They are also sometimes located far from the electrical grid in the case of railway tunnel shafts.
The ISEO electronic access control solution is the answer to these issues. No cables are needed for the locks as the key supplies the required power and access rights to the cylinder which implies easy installation and minimal maintenance. The solution is especially suited to sprawling or isolated sites, such as motorway and railway emergency exits.
The ISEO's F9000 mechatronic key has the IP 66-67-68-69 rating, meaning it’s designed to protect against intrusion from foreign bodies and pressurised water jets, and particularly hardy in the event of damp, rain and dust. It was designed with cutting-edge contactless electromagnetic induction technology, preventing any bad connections caused by corrosion.
