The Challenge

The successful deployment of the European Train Control System (ETCS) and the efficient management of railway infrastructure depend on accurate, up-to-date field data.

However, infrastructure surveys often present significant challenges:
– Time-consuming and costly field inspections
– Risk of errors from manual data collection and reporting
– Difficulty maintaining up-to-date infrastructure databases
– Limited visibility into infrastructure changes over time
– Operational constraints that make trackside inspections difficult

When safety, compliance, and operational efficiency are critical, railway operators need a reliable way to continuously monitor and validate their infrastructure.

The ADCIS Solution

Hyperion: Automated Railway Infrastructure Recognition and Verification

Hyperion helps infrastructure managers automate the acquisition, identification, localization, and verification of critical railway assets.

Combining advanced computer vision, artificial intelligence, cameras, and LiDAR technologies, Hyperion captures and analyzes infrastructure data directly from an inspection train. The system automatically identifies key railway elements, maps them to the railway network, and compares them with existing ETCS databases.

The result is faster data collection, improved accuracy, and greater confidence in the information used to support railway operations and signaling projects.

Benefits for Railway Infrastructure Managers

Reduce Inspection Costs and Project Delays

Automate infrastructure surveys and eliminate much of the manual effort traditionally required to collect and process field data. Hyperion enables large-scale inspections to be performed more efficiently and more frequently.

Improve ETCS Data Reliability

Ensure that signaling equipment and trackside assets are accurately identified and geolocated, providing a trusted foundation for ETCS deployment and maintenance activities.

Monitor Infrastructure Changes Over Time

Regularly compare current field data against reference databases to quickly detect modifications, discrepancies, or newly installed assets.

Minimize Impact on Railway Operations

Data acquisition can be performed at operational speeds, reducing the need for disruptive track access and minimizing the impact on daily railway traffic.

Support the Entire Project Lifecycle

From initial surveys and ETCS deployment to ongoing verification and maintenance, Hyperion provides reliable, traceable information that supports decision-making throughout the lifecycle of railway infrastructure projects.

How It Works

Capture. Detect. Verify. Update.

  1. Infrastructure data is collected using on-board sensors and imaging systems.
  2. AI-powered algorithms automatically detect and recognize railway assets.
  3. Assets are precisely geolocated within the railway network.
  4. Detected elements are compared with existing reference databases.
  5. Actionable information is delivered to engineering and infrastructure management teams.

Why ADCIS?

For more than 30 years, ADCIS has been helping organizations transform image data into actionable information through expertise in computer vision, image analysis, and artificial intelligence.

Hyperion brings this expertise to the railway industry, enabling infrastructure managers to replace labor-intensive inspection processes with automated, reliable, and scalable data acquisition and verification solutions.
