Flir’s new sensor detects fire in rail coaches

6778 Flir Systems’ RSX-F sensor combines its Lepton thermal sensor with high-definition visual imaging for fire and occupancy detection as well as CCTV monitoring to provide fire detection inside rail coaches.

The RSX-F has onboard fire detection algorithms to detect a fire using the thermal energy emitted while video detection algorithms determine the size, rate of temperature increase and movement to reduce false alarms by distinguishing hazards such as cigarettes or lighters.

The EN50155 compliant sensor also measures seat occupancy, allowing train operators to optimise passenger flow or improve passenger comfort by sensing temperature-adjusting train-based HVAC systems. It mounts easily to walls or ceilings and tilts up to 45° for optimal viewing.
