Pedestrian detection, driver alerts, marking of the working area and signalling in the event of a breakdown: rail-road vehicles operating on the railway network must incorporate various safety systems.<\/p>\n
efa supports OEMs with their design, integration and retrofitting.<\/p>\n
There are an increasing number of requirements relating to the prevention of collisions between machines, operators and people in their operating area.<\/p>\n
For manufacturers, the challenge lies in integrating a detection and warning system that is consistent with the geometry, kinematics and operating conditions of each machine.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
A suitable solution can incorporate several complementary functions:<\/p>\n

The 2DKIT combines cameras with image processing to detect people in monitored areas.<\/p>\n
The cameras can be positioned to cover the vehicle\u2019s blind spots. The presence of a person in a configured zone triggers a visual and\/or audible alert for the driver.<\/p>\n
Key features:<\/strong><\/p>\n This solution is particularly well-suited where person detection is the priority function.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/efa-controls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/6.png” title_text=”6″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_padding=”60px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”199px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A vehicle that has broken down must also be clearly identifiable.<\/p>\n efa offers a range of white flashing lights for signalling an engine failure or an emergency.<\/p>\n The choice of device can be tailored to the machine\u2019s specific requirements: dimensions, light output, technology, installation location and operating environment.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/efa-controls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/3-1.png” title_text=”3″ _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”213px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Hazard prevention also applies to people moving around the machine.<\/p>\n efa offers LED projectors that visually mark the operating area on the ground. Depending on the machine\u2019s configuration, the projection can take the form of a line, a \u2018U\u2019 or a specific shape.<\/p>\n This marking provides an immediate visual reference and complements detection systems. The projection can be adapted to the width and configuration of the machine and switched on or off depending on operating conditions.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/efa-controls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/7.png” title_text=”7″ _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”230px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n There is no one-size-fits-all configuration for all rail-road machines.
