Semaphore IQ™ 

Stantec’s Semaphore IQ™ system is an integrated hardware and digital solution that supports the safe movement and switching of trains in manual areas of rail yards. Semaphore IQ offers wireless connection between the user and the central system, which contains the logic and safety verifications to allow a user to safely throw switches from different areas of the yard using the connected digital application.

With this solution, train operators don’t have to detrain to throw switches, which increases efficiency and streamlines logistics. Hardware panels can also be installed at safe locations adjacent to the tracks to request a switch or a series of switches to be thrown to set up a route.
