Split Cab Display
A cab HMI comprising an industrial display and an optional AI-enabled base. It is designed for DC46–160 V locomotive power and can interface with vehicle-control, event-recorder, and onboard data systems. The display brings together live video, operating data, and alarms; the optional base supports lightweight engineer-monitoring analytics and presents track-ahead and running-gear event imagery produced by the onboard computer.
Core capabilities
Cab Operating Display
Shows available speed and location data alongside high-resolution event imagery for track-ahead hazards and running-gear conditions identified by the onboard computer.
Engineer-Monitoring Alerts
The optional AI-enabled base can support selected cab-monitoring functions, such as attentiveness and seat-occupancy detection, subject to the vehicle program and validation plan.
Live Video Preview
The integrated switch can feed line and undercarriage cameras to the cab display for live forward-view and undercarriage imagery.
Integrated Safety Alerts
Brings vehicle-system faults together with track-ahead and running-gear event alerts in one cab workflow.
Time-Stamped Evidence
Applies a common time reference to images and operating data, keeping line-risk and undercarriage snapshots traceable for investigation and review.
Store-and-Forward Transfer
Stores line and undercarriage snapshots during coverage gaps and forwards them through the onboard data gateway when connectivity returns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why cannot a standard industrial tablet replace a dedicated locomotive onboard tablet?
A standard industrial tablet may not include the locomotive power, vibration, temperature, and EMC design needed for the vehicle environment. It may also lack the vehicle interfaces, common timing, and event-record workflow required by an integrated onboard system.
How do the tablet base and onboard computer divide computing work?
The standard base provides switching, power, and device access. The AI-enhanced base can support lightweight cab-monitoring functions, while the onboard computer performs deeper track-ahead and running-gear analytics.
How is event data handled during a communications outage?
When configured with local storage, the tablet can retain event imagery in disconnected territory and synchronize records through the onboard data gateway after connectivity returns.
