Everything You Should Know About Industrial SSD in Rail Systems
2022-03-29 | admin
Modern-day technologically advanced railways efficiently manage all operations involved in the transportation service. This includes real-time sharing rail data to the various passengers, control centers, and ticketing departments.
These rail systems are incredibly efficient but do not function on their own to make commute quick and safe. The infrastructure associated with these systems must also be kept up to date. Industrial SSD is a data storage-driven solution with multiple rail systems applications. They are more reliable when it comes to applications in systems that experience fluctuating temperatures, shocks and vibrations, and extreme environmental conditions. These features have them compatible with many of the emerging needs of the railway industry.
Here we will be discussing industrial SSDs and how they have particularly impacted the rail systems when it comes to safe and fast transition. We will also give you some great examples of industrial SSDs that you can take a closer look into for railway data.
Like any other form of infrastructure, railroad systems need to be kept updated at all times. This form of transportation, unlike road transportation, directionally guides vehicles on systematically laid out tracks. These systems are spread out in large geographical areas with all types of operating environments, and weather temperature varies in each one. They are also meant to operate for longer periods and need to process massive amounts of information a day.
Here are some of the 4 components of a modern-day rail system.
A Passenger Information System (PIS) is a digital information system that assists passengers in their travels by displaying static and real-time information pertaining to arrivals, departures, delays, timetables, and other associated services. This information must be accurately recorded, coordinated, and displayed to the passengers as quickly as possible.
Automated fare collections systems have long since replaced the traditional form of ticketing systems in transport. The fare is usually collected through automated ticket vending machines or online instead of paying directly to a ticketer in these systems. These systems are not only meant to be more secure but are also scalable and flexible.
Platform Screen Door Systems are used in train stations/subway stations to bar the station floor and ceiling from the train. These are particularly used to keep the passengers safe by preventing people from falling onto tracks or getting too close to moving trains.
CCTV systems are a form of video surveillance systems where video cameras are used to transmit live surveillance surrounding an area to a limited set of monitors. These are usually employed in institutions that need security, such as banks, airports, or rail systems.
The rail system is made of several interlinked components that must work quickly, be accurate, and be scalable. We are moving towards a need for data storage and processing units that can process higher amounts of information at quicker speeds and use less power. Industrial SSDs can do just that.
Here are the many ways industrial SSD can help aid the various rail systems.
The rail Passenger Information System is one of the most important parts of the rail transportation system. These systems must be small in size, shouldn't consume too much power, be incredibly reliable, and work in extreme temperatures. They must be resistant to external shocks or vibrations.
An industrial SSD such as the VEIGLO M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe can help improve the performance of these systems. This SSD is built to utilize minimum power but uphold a write/read speed of 3,100/2,200 MB/s. They also offer storage capacity for up to 2TB, are incredibly flexible, and can save space owing to their minimal size (80mmx33mmx3.6mm). Another notable mention here is their ability to withstand humidity and extreme temperatures (up to 95℃!).
Fare systems that are low maintenance, easy to configure, and can work at large capacity, are secure from tampering due to well-designed security standards. Above all, they improve customer experience.

The VEIGLO M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe can help assist PSD systems. They can accurately process large amounts of information at an incredibly fast rate. Their read/write speeds can go up to 3,100/2,500 MB/s with a data storage capacity of up to 2TB.
Finally, the CCTV systems utilized in a rail system must be able to cover a wide area of surveillance accurately 24/7. In addition, they must be able to process and store large amounts of data which is proved to be crucial in the case of incidents or events, and must also be able to withstand extreme temperatures.
The VEIGLO 2.5" SATA SSD is an excellent example of an industrial SSD that can assist you here. This powerful SSD comes with a maximum storage capacity of up to 2 TB, plenty of storage for video surveillance data, and can deliver optimum results even with fluctuating temperatures. (They can usually withstand temperatures between 55℃-95℃)
Railways form a core part of our infrastructure and must be aided with the best modern data processing and storage solutions. Industrial SSDs are a problem solver for many of the industry's needs and can also help these systems deliver optimum results once they are successfully integrated.
