Welcome to the official website for Argenia Railway Technologies Inc., a professional engineering and manufacturing firm specialized in advanced communication & signaling technologies for the railway industry. Argenia offers Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC), advanced warning systems, collision avoidance, interoperable Positive Train Control (PTC), wireless and solar powered private crossings, back office systems and complete system integration.
Argenia’s systems are designed to increase safety by preventing (train-to-train) collisions, overspeed derailments and incursions into established work zone limits. The Wayside Interface Unit (WIU) sends the train information about its location and where is it safely allowed to travel. Movement Authorities then enforce this, preventing unsafe movement and providing protection against human error via speed enforcement, vital separation and penalty braking. Argenia systems have additional functionality to improve capacity and train speeds while greatly reducing the cost of wayside equipment, maintenance and operation for the railway.
Argenia systems are fully wireless and offer solar powered options for private crossings or dark territory. There is full protection for non-equipped, maintenance, or runaway cars and the use of next generation technologies mean reduced power consumption and size.
Proprietary vital wheel sensors measure train speed, length, distance, wheel count, direction and progression with great accuracy. System modules can be installed gradually for improvements in areas of strategic importance.
