iOmniscient thumps its chest that the sophisticated applications in its IQ Rail portfolio have helped China Rail ensure that its passengers can travel safely, securely and with efficiency. The challenges were enormous. The cameras used did not follow any major industry standard.
Vigilance reliably learnt that iOmniscient’s universal connectivity ensured that this was not a major issue.
“The environment was also a challenge. Travelling through terrain that varied from snowy mountains to arid desert there was a risk that the system would suffer from too many false alarms. Many cameras were expected to cover over 300m each along the track line. iOmniscient’s Nuisance Alarm Minimization System (NAMS) ensured that the risk never materialized,” said Dr Rustom Kanga, chief executive officer of iOmniscient.
Being the world’s fastest train service China’s Ministry of Railways (MOR) was very selective in terms of their suppliers. Every participant had to undergo very rigid tests under extreme conditions before the contract was awarded.
iOmniscient congratulates the MOR on its successful launch of the new train.
On Boxing Day (26th December) 2009 the World’s Fastest train from Wuhan in the North of China to Guangzhou in the South made its maiden commercial journey. Travelling at 350 km per hour the train has cut the travel time from over 10 hours to just under 3 hours.
