We have updated our course to reflect the learnings from recently issued Rail Industry Standard RIS-0745-CCS Issue: One – Client Safety Assurance of High Integrity Software-Based Systems for Railway Applications which was developed to aid clients dealing with safety critical software after the Cambrian line wrong side failure.

We have also already added a short section on software design for cyber security (IEC62443 and TS50701) and how, for example, defensive coding is vital for cybersecurity

We have been providing training in for many years now against EN50128 and the newer EN50657 for rolling stock.

We also provide safety critical assessment services for up to SIL2 against EN50128 and EN50657

Digital Transit Limited are excited about the release of NVIDIA’s newest Jetson Orin products, the Orin NX, the Orin Nano and the AGX Orin. The products which are being released this year and are a huge leap for AI for video analysis. Here at DTL we are developing our own software that utilises AI on the edge, in the fog and in the cloud. The new Jetson Orin technology will allow DTL to use more powerful and energy efficient models on the edge such as faster inference for our RailSight-Assist system. The new Orin technology is a large step in the progression of AI technology in regards to their performance. Compared to the Jetson Xavier range, the AGX Orin performs up to 8 times faster than the AGX Xavier and can deliver AI performance that can reach 275 Tensor tera operations per second (TOPS). This is a significant improvement over the AGX Xavier which performs at 30 TOPS and was only released in October 2018.

We are very excited about these new products from Nvidia as they will enable us to provide lower cost, energy efficient solutions to the rail industry.

Digital Transit Limited (DTL) are excited to announce that a new office will be opening in Huddersfield. The new office is located in the University of Huddersfield campus in the 3M Buckley innovation centre.

The 3M Buckley innovation centre is a centre of labs and offices for enterprises and innovative businesses from across the region. Future collaborations with University of Huddersfield and DTL will include innovative new projects in condition monitoring and, media production for DTL’s future courses in safety critical software, ERTMS and rail cyber security. DTL will also be collaborating with the Institute of Rail Research (IRR) which is a world-leading centre of railway safety and engineering.

The location of the 3M Buckley innovation centre is shown in the google maps below.

We are pleased to announce that John Clegg has joined Digital Transit Limited (DTL) as a Non-Executive Director (NED). John’s career has consisted of vital roles that have led to him living in 3 different continents. In the early 1990’s he was involved in automated downhole steering system design and commercialisation. This helped John create concepts leading to the first rotary steerable system. John now works at Hephae Energy Technology as their Chief Technology Officer where he implements this technology to drill high temperature geothermal wells.

In addition to Johns professional career, he is an author of the book “Strategy and Innovation for a Changing World”. John is a Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Distinguished Lecturer. He lectured worldwide on the importance of drilling accurate wells. He is a fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and graduated from the University of Oxford with a Master’s degree in engineering science. We are delighted to have John at DTL and look forward to working with someone with his experience and expertise.
