Application of safety and communication modules as an integrated intelligent system in rail vehicles

This paper presents of Integrated System of Supporting Information Management in Passenger Traffic (the polish acronym of the system is ZSIKRP Demonstrator+). Currently on the polish and, as far as we know, international market such integrated solution is not developed and proposed. In this concept the final customer, e.g. the manufacturer or carrier company, will install one complete solution instead of multiple different installations that are usually difficult or even impossible to integrate. In our opinion the integration leads to increase in safety level of public transport and to improvement the quality of services offered. The novelty of the system is to provide collision, threats detection and fire alarm system integrated into a single coherent solution. In the collision detection module there is a need to apply devices that are resistant to physical disturbances, such as vibrations or strong fluctuations in temperature. One can either use the sensors made in MEMS technology (Micro-called Electro-Mechanical-Systems or micro-electromechanical) or other solutions made in the form of a monolithic integrated system in a standardized enclosure adopted to SMD mounting standard. A practical example of such a sensor is a new digital accelerometers that have a large measurement range (from ±120 g to ±480 g), and the choice of communication. The implementation of the collision detection module based on a monolithic integrated systems in MEMS technology
