Title: Eyes in the passenger compartment Post by: grahame on February 21, 2017, 13:59:40 From Railway Technology - deal this week (http://www.railway-technology.com/news/newsdeals-this-week-bay-line-railroad-petards-expolink-5030689) from last October (something I had clearly missed!
Quote Great Western Railway has awarded a £6m ($7.28m) contract to Petards, a security and surveillance solutions provider based in the UK, to design, develop, supply and install eyeTrain systems to its Class 165 and 166 diesel multiple unit (DMU) trains. The eyeTrain technology is designed to improve passenger safety and reduce operation costs by providing onboard train video products, and sensing solutions such as driver-only operation systems, condition-based monitoring, and passenger counting. Engineering development of the integrated systems has already started, with completion scheduled in 2017, to be followed by the deliveries towards the end of 2018. Posted under "Bristol Commuters" because the trains will be based at St Phillip's Marsh by the time the systems are delivered, and it'll be Bristolians that the systems will be countering and who's condition they'll be monitoring!

Every passenger (oops, railway customer!) can be your company's customer too! That's more or less what I took that bit of "post-meaning" PR to mean at first. But given the rest of the words, I suspect that's more likely to be video handling and recording stuff to go with the cameras. But who knows?

Title: Re: Eyes in the passenger compartment Post by: TM on February 21, 2017, 18:10:25 I think it might also be for the in cab CCTV for DOO.

Every passenger (oops, railway customer!) can be your company's customer too! The metro systems in many European cities commonly show up to date news, weather and upcoming events as well as advertising on their trains. All without sound. I would have no problem with that. Title: Re: Eyes in the passenger compartment Post by: Bmblbzzz on February 25, 2017, 16:04:34 Certainly it's much less irritating without sound.
