Rail & Transit
Subway and rail command and control — deployed in some of the world's most heavily utilized transit systems.
Mission-Critical Transit Operations
The rail industry depends on reliable, real-time monitoring of entire subway and rail networks. Kinesix's human machine interface makes it easy for train command and control workers to oversee everything from track control to signaling automation — across an entire system — in real time.
Kinesix products integrate numerous automation functions into a single offering with a common human machine interface. This allows operations center personnel to view multiple systems simultaneously, understanding exactly what is happening across the transit network at all times.
Industry Requirements
System-Wide Visibility
Operators must monitor an entire subway or rail network — track control, signaling, and rolling stock — in a single interface without switching between systems.
Disparate Control Systems
Transit networks combine systems from many vendors: signaling, power, communications, station management. A unified HMI must connect them all.
Incident Response
Faster, more controlled responses to incidents on the railway require operators to access current system state immediately — not after navigating multiple screens.
24/7 Operations
Transit systems operate continuously. Shift handoffs require accessible, consistent displays from any workstation in the operations center.
How SammiWeb Addresses These Requirements
Unified Network View
SammiWeb consolidates data from disparate transit control systems into a single browser-based interface. Operators view the entire network — or drill into any line or station — from one display.
Any Workstation Access
Any workstation with a browser becomes an operations console. No dedicated hardware per operator, no X11 forwarding, no client software installation — shift handoffs become a login, not a hardware swap.
Real-Time Data Streaming
WebSocket streaming delivers track status, signaling state, and incident data with sub-second latency. Operators see current system state — exactly when they need it.
Zero Migration Cost
Existing Sammi peer applications and transit displays continue running unchanged. SammiWeb adds browser access alongside current consoles — protecting the existing display investment.
Rail & Transit Use Cases
Operations Center
System-wide monitoring of track status, train positions, signaling, and power from a central operations center.
Signaling Automation
Real-time signaling state integrated with track control in a single operator display.
Station Management
Station-level monitoring of platforms, escalators, access control, and passenger information systems.
Incident Management
Fast, contextual incident response — operators see affected systems in the graphical display immediately.
Remote Monitoring
Engineering staff monitoring system status from any browser on the network without dedicated hardware.
System Upgrades
SammiWeb extends existing Sammi transit deployments to browser access — no display rewrite required during upgrades.
Representative Deployments
Kinesix systems are deployed in some of the world's most heavily utilized mass transit networks, including the MTR Corporation (Hong Kong), the Melbourne, Australia transit system, and the Beijing subway system. The Vancouver system also called upon Kinesix for its rail control system upgrade for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.
