PANDAS-V®
Overhead Line Monitoring using AI









How AI computer vision is transforming railway operations
Our advanced machine learning algorithms rationalise data from our IoT solutions, providing railway stakeholders with real-time, business critical intelligence and alerts. This plays a crucial role in determining the severity of incidents, distinguishing between new and recurring issues, and determining the rate at which a recurring problem is escalating.

Our high-definition pantograph camera captures videos in real-time at 60 FPS.
Our onboard camera system analyses each frame in real-time using Edge AI processing.


Data is sent to the GDN® and plotted.
Detection events and deviations from the baseline are reported to key stakeholders.

I’ve informed the local DU who were not yet aware. They are now responding. This will likely be a block to electric traction until the bar can be replaced, as well as on site inspection.
Early warning on this type of issue is incredibly valuable. Without PANDAS it’s entirely possible our first indication of the issue could have been a dewirement.
Keen to discuss a way to fast track this type of issue to a response team in future.

The PANDAS-V® system will undoubtedly contribute to reducing the number of de-wirements, each costing ca.£1m to resolve, as well as the critical safety and operational impacts.
