Syslogic’s AI Railway Computer RML A4AGX takes computer vision in the railroad industry to the next level. The railway-certified embedded computer is based on NVIDIA’s Jetson AGX Orin™ System-on-Module. The RML A4AGX can be seen for the first time from September 24 to 27 at InnoTrans in Berlin, one of the world’s most important trade fairs for transportation technology and rail vehicles.
The Railway Computer RML A4AGX has 275 TOPS AI processing power and 64GB RAM. Power consumption is scalable from 15 to 60 watts. The unique combination of a powerful CPU and GPU with the NVIDIA Ampere architecture enables new computer vision applications in the railway market. It is ideal for object and hazard detection, environmental perception, route monitoring, intelligent video analysis, and autonomous system control.
The Syslogic embedded computer serves as an AI-unit, combining computer vision with neural networks, sensor technology, and robotics. The included NVIDIA AI software provides building blocks and software libraries to bring computer vision applications to market in record time.
The Railway Computer RML A4AGX is designed for use in rail vehicles. It complies with railway standards, including EN50155 certification for extended temperature range, EN45545-2 HL3 for fire protection and EN61373 for shock and vibration resistance. The railway computer also provides at least 10 milliseconds of power-failure bridging according EN50155, Class S2, and conforms to EN50121 for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electrical isolation requirements. The Railway Computer RML A4AGX has an integrated galvanically isolated power supply with a DC input voltage range of 16.8V to 137.5V. This allows the train computer to be directly connected to 24V, 36V and 110V on-board power systems without the need for an external railway-approved power supply.
Its interface layout allows it to connect to a wide range of sensors. It has four Ethernet interfaces with PoE (Power over Ethernet). It can also be connected to the vehicle bus system via CAN. 5G/LTE connectivity and high-accuracy GNSS with RTK (real-time kinematics) and dead reckoning are available as options. This makes it possible to determine the exact position of a train even in tunnels, densely populated urban areas, remote regions or train stations.
Michael Jung says: “The Railway Computer RML A4AGX will spur innovation in the rail industry.” According to Jung, the computer enables new applications in control and monitoring.
