These products can be integrated and managed with March Networks Command Enterprise video management software.

The company noted that the RideSafe RT Series can be integrated with other Train Control and Management Systems (TCMS), Passenger Information Systems (PIS), GPS and other associated devices to enhance search and investigation capabilities.

Using the Command software, rail operators can review all the recorded events alongside associated video evidence.

The combined video and data set will enable them to swiftly investigate complaints, liability claims and other events.

The video evidence can also be used to identify and resolve technical issues such as train door malfunctions.
