TransitHound-PoERailway Distraction Detector

When connected to any railway locomotive’s ethernet network, TransitHound-PoE sends and receives data and power respectively over ethernet becoming a vital component in PTC (Positive Train Control) safety systems. TransitHound-PoE allows owners, dispatchers and managers to keep a watchful eye on operators making transit safe and legal for everyone.

Whether your drivers are operating a train, fleet vehicle or heavy machinery, TransitHound-PoE will enforce a NO CELL PHONE USE with timestamped alerts and triggers for video or still recording of the distracting incident. TransitHound-PoE detects any voice, text or cellular data within the cab, train locomotive or depot station. Additional alarms and warnings may also be implemented to immediately deter operators from using distracting devices.

For cell phone detection without power over ethernet, TransitHound enhances positive train control and railway safety efforts as well.

There are no reviews available for this product.

Can the TransitHound-PoE be used to locate cell phones?

No, because TransitHound-PoE is usually deployed in a fixed position, it precludes the possibility to “triangulate” and locate the source of RF signals. By contrast, hand-held cell detectors can locate cellphones by taking two or more bearings (or, Lines of Position) of the source.

Can the TransitHound-PoE run out of power?

No, because the TransitHound-PoE does not use batteries, it derives its power externally from the same ethernet network it is connected to.

Can the TransitHound-PoE store data?

TransitHound stores no data except for measurement threshold settings.

What kind of antenna is used by the TransitHound-PoE?

TransitHound-PoE can be deployed either with an included omni-directional or optional directional antenna. TransitHound antennas are typically hidden somewhere in the cab or vehicle and connected to the unit via hidden cabling.

Does the TransitHound-PoE provide audible or visual alerts ?

The unit itself does not but TransitHound-PoE can be connected directly to a variety of audible and visual alerts including a camera and DVR for video and time stamping all cellular activity events.

Does TransitHound-PoE identify callers or their phone numbers?

No. TransitHound-PoE is a simple, low-cost RF scanning device that simply triggers when nearby cellphone activity is detected. It does not demodulate, intercept nor communicate with any cellular devices.
