ADLINK PC/104 for Locomotive Streaming Event Recorders

This brief introduces how ADLINK PC/104 computer helped a leading rail system integrator successfully develop real-time streaming event recording systems.

This solution brief introduces how ADLINK’s PC/104 computing solution helped a leading rail system integrator successfully develop one of the industry’s first real-time streaming event recording systems. As a vital subsystem of a Positive Train Control (PTC) system, the event recording equipment collects and preserves critical system data that can be not only accessed in real-time through cloud-based applications, but also stored locally, retrieved and read in a lab during a post-event investigation. Functioning as the processing engine, ADLINK’s PC/104 computer met and overcame every challenging requirement the rail-based industry presented for this solution including compact size, fanless operation, ruggedised build, modular design, and more importantly, high-performance small form factor platform with low power consumption.
