Critical Remote Sites

Situational and environmental awareness for remote sites (REBs)

Updated

Overview

SIYTE connects cameras, sensors and existing systems to provide situational and environmental awareness. Teams can monitor remote assets, identify unusual activity and assess security or operational issues from a unified service, increasing resilience and reducing boots on ballast.

The challenge

The railway has thousands of remote equipment rooms. These are vulnerable to the twin risks of the weather and criminal activity, yet there is very little monitoring for Situational and Environmental Awareness, despite these sites being crucial to the operation of the railway.

Check the temperature and humidity trends in the REB control room. Is the HVAC performing to standard?
Based on the 7-day temperature and humidity trends in the control room:Current Conditions
  • Temperature: cycling above the recommended range
  • Humidity: fluctuating between 40% and 60% RH
HVAC is NOT operating optimally
  1. Temperature variation beyond equipment guidance
  2. Humidity instability through the day
  3. A cyclical pattern suggesting the HVAC is short-cycling
Action: schedule an HVAC inspection before the next hot spell.

Capabilities

Intelligence to action

  1. Systems Integration

    Single operational platform for CCTV, IoT, other existing interfaces (e.g. for HVAC, UPS and door access systems).

  2. Analytics & Insights

    Advanced CCTV analytics can identify suspicious & criminal activity. AI driven analysis enables risk-based maintenance.

  3. Actionable Intelligence

    Verify, prioritise and dispatch: workflow can initiate announcements, multi-channel alerts or audit events for analysis dependent on context.

Critical Remote Sites: what SIYTE monitors

The solution

Monitor people, vehicles, access points, equipment and environmental conditions across remote infrastructure. SIYTE correlates activity across data sources so teams can distinguish routine activity from events that need attention.

  • Situational Awareness: Detect criminal damage and theft at sites. Advanced AI models can also profile suspicious activity, initiating automated announcements to serve as a deterrent.
  • Environmental Awareness: Integrate IoT sensors & existing systems to monitor temperature, humidity, water ingress, battery condition, access control, UPS, HVAC and more.
  • Track Trespass: REBs are often associated with unauthorised track access. Monitor track trespass – use automated announcements as a first line of intervention with real-time alerts informing further action.
  • Remote Surveys and Asset Monitoring: Cameras in REBs can support remote surveys and audits. LoRaWAN connectivity can extend many km down the track, enabling IoT monitoring of gates, drainage and other assets.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes. SIYTE can integrate a wide variety of legacy systems, such as door systems, HVAC system and pumps. It can also integrate IoT sensors to monitor tank levels for generators, drains and other assets.

We can use standard CCTV analytics to detect when people are outside the perimeter. This then triggers an agent which uses advanced AI “Vision Language Models” to profile behaviour, such as testing fences and gates.
