Smart Lock Systems for Railway Infrastructure

With the deepening of urbanization, high-speed railroad is developing rapidly as an important hub of modern transportation, and the management framework characterized by group operation, intensive development, lean management and standardized construction has basically taken shape. Various aspects of railroad engineering services have increasingly high requirements for on-site operation and maintenance management. How to ensure the safe operation of all aspects of high-speed rail is the main pain point of the railroad industry. The signal equipment, network equipment and communication cabinets along the railroad coverage line are often maliciously damaged due to their scattered and remote location; the equipment operation management requires regular inspections, but the line is long and difficult to manage; the maintenance and inspection cannot confirm the identity of the visitor and the maintenance process cannot be effectively tracked. All these problems bring great challenges to the safety of railroad transportation.

Vanma has accumulated many security cases in the railroad industry and developed targeted solutions for these problems to help customers ensure the security of all aspects of the railway industry.Vanma solutions provide strong access control and flexible authorization and accountability for the railroad industry. It realizes the opening and locking of electronic locks, real-time status monitoring and switching lock information inquiry, etc. It can realize one electronic key (according to authorization) to open multiple passive inspection locks. The system adds a powerful guarantee for the safe production of the railroad.

Flexible Access Control for Railway Crews

The personnel in charge of the vehicles need to inspect the important area equipment inside and outside the vehicles; inspect the important equipment along the railroad line. In order to ensure the access authority of specific areas, Vanma makes each electronic key have different access authority to specific areas by setting the access authority for it. It also authenticates access to important areas such as office area and dispatch monitoring room inside the station. At the same time, Vanma management system can record the time of opening and closing locks in real and real time so that they can track the access time and access personnel in different locations to different specific areas, and the electronic keys record the time of opening and closing locks, and the operation process can be based on evidence. In order to monitor whether the maintenance personnel carry out field maintenance, the identity authentication can clearly record the relevant responsible personnel.

Eliminating Railway Key Loss and Duplication

Key equipment or shell security locking system, including door control (maintenance area and cab), communication cabinets, ETCS equipment, electrical isolation and safety control switches as well as engine room and power unit, maintenance workers check more parts need more than one key, management is complicated, and can not well supervise personnel access. With one smart key, it is possible to manage a large number of sites of the railroad, which can be managed by multiple employees according to the assigned management rights. An employee can open multiple locks as needed. Solve the problem of more equipment involved along the railroad line need to carry a large number of keys so that not only can achieve unlocking management, but also to improve efficiency to avoid cost wastage.

IP68 Weatherproof Locks for Outdoor Tracks

There is a lot of equipment along the railroad line, exposed to the outdoors, corrosion and damage to the locks including dust or oxidation of the lock cylinders may lead to blockage of the lock holes, making the locks unable to work properly, resulting in incalculable repair and remediation costs. Train exterior baffles, roof air conditioning, power transmission and other systems, HVAC panels and lighting fixtures, these areas are subject to hazards such as intentional human disassembly and remain outside the train, so they are subject to rain, high temperature erosion, followed by train travel will generate vibration, all of which can damage the lock body and thus cause safety hazards. Vanma smart lock has IP68 protection level, which is the highest level of waterproof and dustproof Grade. It does not have a traditional sense of the lock hole, so there is no dust, ice and snow blocking the lock hole. Meanwhile, to ensure stable communication between the key and the lock, the developer has equipped the Vanma electronic key with infrared sensing technology. Even if the surface of the lock is wet, the information can be transmitted properly.

Blacklist function

The blacklist function in Vanma’s management system allows you to set the keys that need to be disabled, so that you can lose access to specific areas. This avoids the insecurity caused by lost keys or personnel leaving, while eliminating the need to replace locks and change access rights for others. Traditional physical keys are easily copied and shared by employees and thieves. Vanma control system standardizes the process of key use, improves supervision efficiency, solves the misery caused by lost or copied keys, and realizes the information management of railroad equipment and field operation safety.
