Passenger Information & Video Security

Information to keep you moving

Our comprehensive passenger information and video-security solutions cover the entire passenger journey, from boarding and departure to on-board entertainment, simplifying and improving the travel experience.

Digital and electronic solutions for rail need to address two key passenger needs. First, accustomed to the immediacy of social media, passengers now expect to be informed of delays, traffic interruptions, and timetable changes as they happen. Trains therefore require systems capable of providing real-time information. Second, passenger security is of the utmost importance. To keep passengers safe, trains need to transmit security-related information to control centers in real time, enabling on-site and off-site teams to react quickly and efficiently.    

Wabtec provides industry-leading passenger information and video security systems to the rail industry. We design systems that focus on improving the passenger experience, making Wabtec one of a select few suppliers offering such a comprehensive range of passenger-centric solutions.  

Our product portfolio includes:

  • Passenger information: Our information-related products include display and audio announcements, smartphone apps for train crew, infotainment, on-board Wi-Fi, seat reservation, and passenger counting. You benefit from a wide range of display technologies, custom-made designs for display housing, and high flexibility in adjusting your train’s mechanical layout.  
  • Passenger security: Our recording-related solutions include audio intercom, passenger saloon CCTV, platform video surveillance, and Cab CCTV. You benefit from a highly flexible provider that can integrate other third-party products and provide the interface to way-side systems of different operators.  

Wabtec is an international manufacturer and supplier of on-board railway equipment and systems. We have been providing video security systems to train manufacturers and operators since 1995, and passenger information solutions since 2007.
