Attaining Ubiquitous Railway Analysis (AURA)

Focus Sensors将与铁路行业合作，探索FOAS（光纤声学传感）和我们独特的FOMS（光纤运动传感）可以增强运营和管理能力。我们的技术利用了铁路沿线光纤电缆的重要机会价值。我们在发展科技以支援铁路系统的运作和管理方面，已取得很大进展，而且显然还有更大的潜力。GCRE带来了一个近乎独特的机会，也可以对光纤传感的价值进行开创性的探索，以支持铁路建设。我们的内部团队拥有对我们Indus硬件和软件平台的设计，制造和配置的完全所有权和控制权，这是我们FOAS和FOMS功能的核心。我们的团队将与负责整个GCRE设计、构建、运营和维护阶段的人员合作，提出开发、测试和部署之旅，以最大限度地发挥GCRE产品的价值。GCRE代表了一个开发和示范的环境，我们渴望成为一个长期的合作伙伴，以支持我们在铁路市场的国际活动。大不列颠铁路过渡团队评论说，铁路太孤立，太慢，太规范。我们相信GCRE可以展示和促进共享的方法，灵活性和更快的交付。我们的光纤传感是一项主要的敏捷技术，可以成为负担得起的铁路现代化的灯塔，其中更广泛的挑战可能来自减少铁路使用，延迟更换老化的基础设施，专业技能离开铁路，更多地依赖更高等级的列车自动化和极端气候事件的流行。GCRE将成为英国的展示，这一融资呼吁对英国公司来说是一个很好的机会像福克斯传感器合作，并提供创新的英国技术产品适合GCRE的高度代表性的铁路基础设施。光纤传感将以现场和视觉形式提供输出，GCRE的访问者可以使用，无法访问的人可以通过互联网使用。

Focus Sensors will build upon collaborative work undertaken with the rail industry in exploring where FOAS (fibre optic acoustic sensing) and our unique FOMS (fibre optic movement sensing) can enhance operational and management capabilities. Our technology leverages significant opportunity value from the presence of fibre optic cables running alongside railways. Much progress has been made in developing our technology to support the operation and management of railway systems, and greater potential is evident. GCRE brings a near-unique opportunity to also conduct a pioneering exploration for the value of fibre optic sensing to support railway construction.Our in-house team has full ownership and control of the design, manufacture and configuration of our Indus hardware and software platform which is the heart of our FOAS and FOMS capabilities. Our team will engage with those having responsibilities across the whole of the GCRE design, build, operate and maintain phases to propose a development, test and deployment journey which can maximise the value of the GCRE offering. GCRE represents a development and demonstration environment where we aspire to be a long-term partner as a route to supporting our international activities in the rail marketplace.The Great British Railways Transition Team commented that rail is too siloed, too slow and too prescriptive. We believe GCRE can demonstrate and promote shared approaches, flexibility and faster delivery. Our fibre optic sensing is a prime agile technology which can become a beacon for affordable rail modernisation, where broader challenges are likely to arise from reduced rail usage, delayed replacement of ageing infrastructure, specialist skills leaving the railway, greater reliance on higher grades of train automation and the prevalence of extreme climate events.GCRE will be a UK showcase and this funding call is a great opportunity for UK companies like Focus Sensors to collaborate and deliver innovative UK technology products fit for GCRE's highly representative rail infrastructure. Fibre optic sensing will present outputs in a live and visual format which can be consumed by visitors to GCRE or via the Internet for those who are not able to visit.
