Advanced Rail Positioning and Safety Systems for the Transit Industry
Reliably Innovative Transit Solutions
About Piper
Piper provides advanced solutions for train navigation, MOW vehicle protection and railway safety.
Our experience deploying innovative solutions in the most challenging environments has given us a thorough understanding of the major pain points that transit agencies and freights are facing today.
We’ve designed our technology and platform to help solve them by providing highly accurate data of where trains and assets are in real-time, improving track worker safety, creating interoperability with legacy equipment, and improving speed of delivery for maintenance and signalling projects.

certification
SIL4 Safety Certified
A fundamental requirement of any signaling system is safety certification to a CENELEC SIL-4 level. In CBTC, this vitality is achieved, in part, by meeting the Automatic Train Protection (ATP) functionality required for safe train operation as defined by the IEEE 1474.1 Standards for Communications-Based Train Control Performance and Functional Requirements.
