STINGRAY (SmarT station INtelliGent RAilwaY) is an project focused on the study, design and development of a station communication infrastructure, integrating power line and wireless technologies, which:
i) realizes a LAN network over the station plants using Power Line and wireless technologies;
ii) allows the control and monitoring of the station equipment (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA));
iii) creates value added services such as connectivity, monitoring, Energy Management Service (EMS), Fault Prediction Service (FPS) video surveillance, environmental surveying, infomobility, for customers and railway staff.
The goal of STINGRAY is to renew the role of a railway station, traditionally seen as a meeting point for a city, in order to enhance its importance and integration in the Smart City of the future.
STINGRAY Smart services gather information from timetable of trains, as well as availability of city facilities such as bike-sharing, car-sharing, taxi, hotels, in order to offer aggregated booking services to end users.
Fault Prediction Service (FPS) is a preventive diagnostic technology based on fault prediction. Railway staff can then preemptively implement the maintenance and troubleshooting according to the predicted fault types, comprehensively improving the customer experience.
Energy Management Service (EMS) is a service used by operators of railway station to monitor, control, and optimize the performance of the devices of the railway stations (Track Switch Heaters, Light, Underpasses, Light towers...). Managing the energy consumption of these devices is important in order to reduce costs and minimize the environmental impact. It is also important to guarantee the reliability of the system.
Station Controller Equipment (CTS) is an element to implement a LAN network over the station plants using Power Line and wireless technologies.
Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) is a service allows to remote monitoring and control system of the station equipment.
STINGRAY is an POR FESR Tuscany project 2014-2020 ASSE 1 - AZIONE 1.1.5 – Sub-azione a1 “Progetti strategici di ricerca e sviluppo" (Bando 1) - Decreto 24.05.2017 n. 7165.
