Futurail develops the missing pieces needed to unlock autonomous train operations worldwide. We get there step by step, from driver assistance to depot and branch line autonomy. Partnering with leading operators and rolling stock manufacturers, we retrofit existing fleets and integrate into new vehicle developments.
OUR PRODUCTS
Our products and services are designed for seamless autonomy integration, with safety at the core.
PERCEPTION
FUTURAILDetect
The perception system providing real-time obstacle detection and track monitoring. The system supports automation from collision warning advisory systems to fully automated operations automation (GoA3/4).
DETECTION RANGE
OPERATING SPEED
LOCALIZATION
FUTURAILLocalize
Centimeter-accurate positioning that keeps working where GNSS doesn't work (tunnels, depots, and deep urban canyons) by matching live sensor data against a digital rail map.
10 CM
POSITION ACCURACY
0.1º
HEADING ACCURACY
PERCEPTION
FUTURAILSignal
The system behind the signal recognition: it detects, classifies, and interprets trackside signal aspects and speed signage in real time, enabling functions from driver assistance through to fully autonomous train operations.
DETECTION (100M)
SIGNALS
HARDWARE
FUTURAILPlatform
The sensor and compute platform designed for rail perception applications — combining short- and long-range sensors, redundant high-performance edge computers, and a dedicated safety computer in a railway-grade package, serving as both Futurail's native hardware base and an open platform for customers and third-party software.
FUTURAILAssist
An add-on safety feature that increases driver awareness and reduces reliance on attention alone, with no change to existing operating rules or train homologation. Delivers real-time obstacle detection, signal recognition, and cm-level positioning through an in-cab dashboard — on the same hardware that upgrades to higher automation grades (GoA2/3/4) later.
Collision Warning
SPAD Warning
Switch trailling
Blind spot viewing
Track Monitoring
Video recording
Stopping Assistance
Structured Pathway
A staged certification path — Depot, then Branch Line, then Main Line — each stage progressively widening the operational domain, so certification and deployment build on real operating data at every step.
SIL2 Engineering
Designed against EN 50126, EN 50128, EN 50129, and EN 50716, with a modular safety case for each autonomy level — enabling incremental certification instead of an all-or-nothing approval.
EN Compliant
EN 50155 class TX (railway electronics), EN 61373 (vibration and shock), EN 45545-2 (fire safety of materials) and IP67/IP66-rated.
