Pantograph Camera: Advanced IP Solutions for Smart Railway

At Railtex 2017, Moxa presented IP solutions for smart railway with focus on industry-leading products that enable easy, effective refurbishment and retrofit, including railway switches, wireless products, computing platforms, and CCTV solutions.

One of the main advantages of installing cameras on the exterior of trains is that they can help to monitor the pantograph. When there is clear footage of a problem that occurred with the pantograph, it is easy for train operators to determine when and why the pantograph malfunctioned. In order to deliver quality images, such cameras need to withstand extreme weather, corrosion, and scratches, and they should enable flexible installation and easy maintenance.
