OCS RAIL MONITORING
Groundbreaking OCS Rail Monitoring for Canadian Transit Agencies & Rail Operators
An advanced overhead catenary system (OCS) monitoring solution that saves transit agencies thousands of dollars compared to alternative solutions or system failures.
Overhead Contact System
Keep Your Overhead Contact System (OCS) In Check
Summit Infrastructure is proud to help Canadian transit agencies and rail operators improve OCS monitoring through our exclusive partnership with Incremental Solutions.
The service involves installing a non-invasive camera on top of trains without any modifications to the train systems or onboard wiring. AI technology then analyzes trends in the video and provides automated alerts on potential failures in the system before the system fails, saving you hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs and downtime.
The technology operates 24/7, any time trains run on the line to regularly monitor and analyze data, including:
- Contact force on the wires
- Height of the line
- Pantograph flip
- Stagger
- Train speed
The system also tracks other factors influencing the wire in the catenary system, including:
- Arcing
- Crossover
- Vegetation

Get easy access to critical OCS data from an easy-to-use data portal. You’ll have the option between near real-time or daily data.
Automated Alert Configuration
You’ll receive automated alerts whenever there is an issue with your overhead catenary system so you can address it before your system fails.
System Training
We provide training to help you access the data portal, configure alerts, run reports, and more.
BENEFITS OF OCS MONITORING
Experience the Benefits of OCS Monitoring
Preventative Maintenance
Over time, overhead wires move in the heat and degrade. Our solution detects faults in overhead catenary systems before they break so you can take further action before it shuts down your railway system.
Safety Improvements
The use of cameras and AI rather than traditional inspection crews keeps people off the infrastructure and away from the dangerous wire in the overhead catenary system.
Faster Access to Data
Our inspection system is much more efficient than sending traditional inspection crews to the site and allows you to collect and analyze data on an ongoing basis.
Significant Cost-Savings
Our OCS monitoring service is significantly less costly than a complete failure of your system. By detecting faults before they shut down your system, you can save thousands of dollars.
INDUSTRY-LEADING
Why Choose Summit Infrastructure?
Although there are other companies that offer OCS monitoring to the Canadian transit industry, they use load sensors that are attached to the train to measure the force on the wires. These sensors are significantly more expensive than the Incremental Solutions technology that we use at Summit Infrastructure.
The Incremental Solutions AI technology has been proven in the UK and tested with transit agencies in Canada so you can feel confident choosing this cost-efficient solution to monitor your infrastructure.
