The RML A4AGX, the company’s latest railway-certified embedded computer, elevates computer vision technology for the rail industry. Built around NVIDIA’s Jetson AGX Orin System-on-Module, it will be showcased from 24-27 September at InnoTrans, one of the global trade fairs for transport technology and rail vehicles.
Advanced CPU/GPU architecture
The Railway Computer RML A4AGX delivers 275 TOPS AI processing power with 64GB of RAM, and its power consumption is adjustable between 15 and 60 watts. The combination of its high-performance CPU and GPU, utilising NVIDIA’s Ampere architecture, opens new possibilities for computer vision applications in rail. It is particularly suited for tasks such as object and hazard detection, environmental monitoring, route surveillance, intelligent video analytics, and autonomous system control.
Syslogic’s embedded computer serves as an AI hub, integrating computer vision with neural networks, sensor technology, and robotics. With NVIDIA’s AI software included, it provides essential software libraries and components, accelerating the development and deployment of computer vision applications for the rail sector.
Designed for rail industry standards
The RML A4AGX has been purpose-built for railway use, meeting key industry standards. It holds EN50155 certification for extended temperature operation, EN45545-2 HL3 for fire protection, and EN61373 for resistance to shock and vibration. Additionally, it offers at least 10 milliseconds of power-failure bridging in compliance with EN50155, Class S2, and meets EN50121 standards for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electrical isolation. Its integrated galvanically isolated power supply with a DC input range of 16.8V to 137.5V allows it to connect directly to onboard power systems (24V, 36V, and 110V) without needing an external railway-certified power supply.
The computer’s interface layout supports a broad range of sensors. It includes four Ethernet ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE) and can connect to vehicle bus systems via CAN. Optional 5G/LTE connectivity and high-precision GNSS with RTK (real-time kinematics) and dead reckoning are also available, enabling accurate train positioning even in tunnels, urban areas, remote regions, or stations.
“The Railway Computer RML A4AGX will spur innovation in the rail industry,” said Michael Jung, Product Manager, Syslogic. According to Jung, the system enables cutting-edge applications for control and monitoring, positioning Syslogic at the forefront of technological progress in rail transport.
