The Futurail

Autonomy stack

A modular perception, localization, and control platform engineered for safety-critical rail autonomy — from driver assistance to fully unattended operation (GoA4).

01 / FUTURAILDetect

Obstacle Detection

Multi-modal sensor fusion combining LiDAR, radar, and HDR cameras for reliable obstacle recognition in all weather. Continuously monitors the clearance gauge and surroundings — including infrastructure intrusions, overhanging vegetation, and static encroachments — and classifies what it sees: humans, animals, road vehicles, rail vehicles, and vegetation.

Multi-modal sensor fusion combining LiDAR, Radar, and High-Dynamic-Range Cameras for reliable obstacle recognition in all weather. Our system categorizes hazards with unprecedented speed and accuracy.

02 / FUTURAILSignal

01 / FUTURAILDetect

Signal Recognition

Computer vision system that detects, classifies, and interprets trackside signal aspects and speed signage in real time via camera/LiDAR fusion. Detected signals are cross-referenced against the digital track and signal database to validate position, type, and track assignment — supporting Signal-Passed-At-Danger (SPAD) prevention as a core safety function.

KEY BENEFITS

Reduction of Signal Passed at Danger (SPAD) events

Additional safety layer for legacy and class B signalling systems

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

99% signal classification accuracy at 100m with detection range up to 200m

Reads both main and dwarf signal aspects, plus fixed and temporary speed restriction signage

03 / FUTURAILLocalize

Precise Localization

Rail-specific localization and mapping that matches live LiDAR scans against a digital rail map for precise, robust positioning — including inside tunnels, depots, and other GNSS-denied environments. The map is built using the same sensors used in operation, and updates itself automatically as it detects changes on the network.

KEY BENEFITS

Precision stopping — e.g. aligning over a battery charger or with an elevated platform for wheelchair access

Precise gauge placement for Obstacle Detection

Additional odometry and localisation source for signalling and train protection

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

±10cm and 0.1° localization accuracy

Fully supported in GNSS-denied environments — tunnels, forests, covered depots

10Hz position update rate

Integrates with GNSS receivers, IMUs, wheel odometry, and existing onboard train networks for redundancy

All-weather: rain, fog, snow, dust, day and night

04 / FUTURAILAssist

Driver Assistance

An add-on safety feature that increases driver awareness and reduces reliance on attention alone, while requiring 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 with visual and audible warnings — optionally shared with the infrastructure manager to support maintenance planning. The same sensor and compute foundation used across Futurail's stack means a driver assistance deployment can be upgraded to higher automation grades (GoA2/3/4) later without a hardware change.

KEY BENEFITS

Safety in the highest-risk zones — construction zones, yards, and depots

Improved fleet availability — earlier warnings prevent the collisions and low-speed derailments that typically sideline 3–5% of a fleet

Lowest entry point for automation — no change to operating rules or homologation

05 / FUTURAILPlatform

The Sensor & Compute Platform

A multi-sensor, multi-computer system for real-time perception and localization, 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. Supports retrofit and first-mount installations across train types and automation levels, scalable up to SIL2.

AUTONOMOUS OPERATIONS

FuturailDriver combines Detect, Localize, and Drive into a single closed-loop autonomy stack: obstacle and clearance data, signal and speed data, and precise position are fused into one continuously validated operating picture that the train acts on directly. Deployment is two-stage — hardware kit integration and software customization first, then the software stack itself, licensed per train per year.
