On August 19, 2024 the new Sydney Metro City Line was launched. The new line connects the existing Metro North West line from Chatswood, travels beneath Sydney Harbour, and extends through the bustling Sydney CBD, ending at Sydenham. Congratulations to Sydney Metro for greatly enhancing the transport options available to Sydney’s citizens.

A special congratulation is also due to Hitachi Rail (formerly Thales), who were instrumental in delivering the cutting-edge signalling and electrical systems required.

At iOmniscient, they are proud to have contributed to the success of this project by providing a critical component of the mission critical safety system, just as we did for the 1st Sydney Metro line in 2019. Their innovative AI-driven safety technologies have been integrated into the metro’s infrastructure to ensure seamless and secure operations. From real-time trespass detection to reducing false alarms with our Nuisance Alarm Minimization System (NAMS), Their solutions have helped create a safer travel experience for all passengers.

iOmniscient’s IQ-Rail systems are specifically designed to address key safety concerns such as track protection and tunnel security. By utilising practical “No Deep Learning” AI techniques, IQ-Rail has minimized costs eliminating expensive power-hungry GPUs and minimising the network bandwidth and storage required. The system’s real-time capabilities ensure that incidents like intrusions on the tracks, fallen debris, or unauthorised access to tunnels are detected and managed promptly, thereby safeguarding both passengers and railway staff.

Looking forward to seeing the positive impact that this new metro line will have on Sydney and its residents.
