Piper offers a range of innovative products designed to revolutionize the industry, including Vital Train Positioning, Maintenance of Way (MOW) Protection, Automatic Train Protection (ATP), Grade Crossing Safety, and Passenger Information Display Systems (PIDS). With our cutting-edge Ultra Wideband (UWB), GPS-RTK, and patented TrackSight LiDAR image positioning technology, we deliver unparalleled accuracy and performance in even the most challenging transportation environments. We firmly believe that integrating UWB, LiDAR, and other advanced industrial technologies into train control systems represents a crucial advancement for signaling and track worker safety. Our relentless pursuit of solutions allows us to minimize wayside equipment needs, and in the case of Piper TrackSight, eliminate it entirely in favor of train-centric equipment. This not only ensures swift deployment but also significantly reduces costs and minimizes disruption for passengers.
