Video: Building a Digital Railway Experience
Trains that are fully automated and run at shorter intervals, that are controlled intelligently
and automatically in real time, that use sensor technology to recognize their environment and
their position, thus making travel more punctual and safer. This is made possible by
high-performance hardware and software solutions.
Kontron’s KBox R-101, a control and communication platform in box PC format, is
perfectly suited for demanding tasks in railroad and other harsh environments.
Kontron's new compact high-end industrial PC is based on a maintenance-free, fanless,
passively cooled and IP54-compliant system concept. The system and all external interfaces
are specially designed for use within railroads or other public transportation and harsh
industrial environments and are therefore EN 50155 compliant.
The system is based on 11th Gen Intel® Core™
i7-1185GRE or i5-1145GRE processors (KBox R-101-TGL) or Intel Atom®
processors x6425RE or x6212RE (KBox R-101-EKL) together with a memory expansion of max. 32 GB.
With the KBox R-101, a wireless module for WiFi and Bluetooth can be operated together with a
module for 5G/LTE, GSM, LPWA and GNSS, thus creating the basis for intelligent applications
for both passengers and operators, e.g. Internet-On-Board, entertainment, passenger
counting, predictive maintenance or real-time train positioning via GNSS.
