Driver Only Operation
Advanced Body Mounted DOO Solutions
Advanced Camera Technology
The eyeTrain DOO system uses wide dynamic range digital
camera technology with pixel level exposure control to
ensure that the train driver is presented with clear images
in all lighting conditions.
Standard camera technologies use a single exposure level
for the whole image - in the adverse lighting conditions of
platform environment, this could mean vital detail is lost
through areas of over or under exposure.
The pixel level exposure control used by Petards ensures
that each individual part of the image is exposed to the
best possible level.
The eyeTrain Driver Only Operation (DOO) System
provides an on-train surveillance solution for safe train
dispatch.
The camera modules are supplied in robust IP65 sealed
enclosures with internal and anti-condensation heating.
External body mounted cameras provide the driver with
a direct view of each doorway on the train to assist with
closure of the doors and departure from the station.
The on-board system provides significant safety and
financial advantages over platform mounted mirrors or
monitors. Once the train has started moving, the driver
continues to be able to monitor the side of the train for
possible hazards.
Flexible System Configuration
The architecture of the eyeTrain system allows the user
multiple options to meet their individual requirements.
These options include:
• Safety Approved to SIL1
• Multi-level image verification with safety
interlocks
• The external cameras can share the same
network, recording and surveillance
monitoring as the saloon, vestibule and
forward facing cameras
• The system can operate independently
of the saloon CCTV or passenger counting
system if required
• Optional recording of images
• Fault Tolerant
