Maintenance work crews can use Protran’s RWP alerts to track an approaching train or other railway vehicle entering their work zone.

CAS uses real-time distance measures combined with audio-visual alerts and enforces safe operating distances between railway work equipment, track workers, and restricted areas.

In March 2015, Harsco acquired Protran Technology, which designs and produces safety systems for transportation and industrial applications.

Protran's railway track worker and train operator safety systems help protect personnel from potential collisions and other dangerous situations.

Harsco Rail is a global provider of railway track maintenance equipment and services.
