Cutting-edge sensor technology makes switching freight cars even safer and more precise

To make switching freight cars safer and more efficient, video and radar sensors are positioned on the locomotive. The radar sensors can scan an area reaching up to 160 meters in front of the locomotive, and then combine this information with the image of the track ahead captured by the video sensors. A control unit distills this data into a detailed image of the locomotive’s surroundings - similar to an automotive reversing camera.
