Piper’s CEO, Robert Hanczor, will review three UWB pilot programs in the New York subway system and provide a description of UWB technology and operation with an emphasis on accelerating CBTC deployments.

The presentation will cover 4 project phases:

Installation – Show how Piper helped put trains back into service faster with less downtime through thoughtful packaging, rapid provisioning, and by using equipment that is small and easy to install.
Positioning – Explain how sensors installed wayside and onboard trains communicate wirelessly in real-time, determine accurate distances to within a few inches, and then calculate the location of the train along the track and feed that information into the train control system.
Smart Use of Data – Discuss how UWB system helps accelerate the new signaling upgrades by feeding critical data into the CBTC systems so that trains can run closer together. In addition, provide examples of how it can also be used for many operational functions including track worker safety, work train and equipment location, and fleet management.
Future - Piper is looking ahead to the evolution of fully vehicle-centric positioning systems that require minimal wayside equipment.
