Overview
Modern trains — long-haul, high-speed, light-rail, subway — have built-in intelligence throughout which makes travelling fast, safe, reliable and comfortable. Innovation across all aspects of on-board and wayside system design improve performance and efficiency while also enhancing safety and security.
On-board control systems process data from a large variety of cabin components including doors, lighting, cameras, air conditioning, brakes, lavatories, displays, diagnosis functions and power management – often in real time and always with resilient methods. Wayside objects ensure safe traffic control with intelligent signaling and manage the power distribution along the tracks and on platforms, provide secure video surveillance and supports the passenger on the platform with HMIs, displays and other information systems. Enhanced requirements concerning availability and built-in diagnostics as well as the compatibility to networks are mandatory.
AMD combines scalable processing performance, deterministic programmable logic, certified design flows for functional safety and state-of-the-art security features with long-term reliability under harsh conditions, and longevity of supply. Designers benefit from re-use across the AMD Zynq™ 7000 and Zynq UltraScale+™ MPSoC families of SoCs. This helps to maximize productivity for embedded and return on invest for cloud-based software development investments across diverse applications in Train Control and Management (TCMS), train communication, motion related control, and security as well as functional safety.
Design Examples
The implemented HSR, PRP, and TSN provide standard-conform resilient networking with network synchronization. With an Arm Processing System, on-board communication become more efficient to SCADA systems and the cloud. Additionally, security extensions such as Crypto IP, cybersecurity stack, and Programmable Logic protect against cyber threats, and Power Quality analytics engine, accelerators, and custom logic enable monitoring. All these features together offer a comprehensive, secure solution for reliable and efficient modern industrial operations.
Sensor interfaces, video encoder and Image Signal Processing can be integrated in an SoC. Accelerated neural networks engine for inference enable functions to intelligently assess the situation and select the right strategies to react.
