Attaining Ubiquitous Railway Analysis (AURA)

福克斯传感器将建立在与铁路行业合作的基础上，探索FOAS(光纤声学传感)和我们独特的FOMS(光纤运动传感)可以在哪里增强运营和管理能力。我们的技术充分利用了铁路沿线铺设光缆带来的巨大商机价值。在开发技术以支持铁路系统的运营和管理方面，我们已经取得了很大的进展，而且潜力很大。GCRE带来了一个近乎独一无二的机会，为光纤传感支持铁路建设的价值进行了开创性的探索。我们的内部团队完全拥有和控制我们的Indus硬件和软件平台的设计、制造和配置，这是我们FOAS和FOMS能力的核心。我们的团队将与负责整个GCRE设计、建造、运营和维护阶段的人员接触，为GCRE的开发、测试和部署提出建议，使GCRE产品的价值最大化。GCRE代表着一个发展和示范环境，我们渴望成为长期的合作伙伴，作为支持我们在铁路市场上的国际活动的途径。英国铁路大过渡团队评论说，铁路太孤立、太慢、太拘泥于规定。我们相信，GCRE可以示范和促进共享方法、灵活性和更快的交付。我们的光纤传感是一项主要的灵活技术，可以成为负担得起的铁路现代化的指路明灯，更广泛的挑战可能来自减少铁路使用量、推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以及极端气候事件的流行。GCRE将成为英国的一个展示窗口，此次融资呼吁是像Focus Sensors这样的英国公司合作并提供创新的英国技术产品的绝佳机会，这些产品适合GCRE具有高度代表性的铁路基础设施。光纤传感将以实时和可视的形式提供输出，GCRE的访问者可以使用这些输出，或者无法访问的访问者可以通过互联网使用这些输出。

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.
