Driving the Rail Systems of Tomorrow, Today
In our increasingly connected world, it’s no longer
enough to get passengers and packages from Point A
to Point B safely and efficiently. Today, railway operators
and their passengers expect a seamless experience.
As critical parts of the nervous system of modern
rail, ITT Veam’s durable, high-performance
interconnect solutions help make that possible. ITT
Veam showcased its highly engineered high-power
and high-speed data interconnect technologies,
ruggedized, harsh environment platings and more.
ITT Veam CIR M12 Data Connectors are built to bridge
the gap between current data processing capabilities and
customer demand. They have the ability to transfer data
from Ethernet, WTB and MVB in a single connector. An
important component of the latest generation of Italy’s
high-speed trains, ITT Veam CIR M12 Data Connectors can
support an industry-leading 10 Gigabit-per-second Ethernet
(up to Class FA ISO/IEC 11801 channel performance).
They were developed specifically for rail vehicle-tovehicle
interconnection. As a result, they’re helping
manufacturers build fault-tolerant, future-proof Ethernet
networks that adhere to the unique topology of the train
and perform under even the most severe conditions.

Cetrovo from CRRC: The
Next-Generation Metro
Cetrovo, the new metro
from CRRC is a high-speed,
environmentally friendly,
intelligent design with a speed
up to 87 miles per hour.
It is designed with a carbon
fiber composite car body, silicon
carbide permanent magnetic
traction system, and an active
radial and fully active suspension system bogie. The
adoption of a split-mould modular design approach
offers precision mouldings. The adoption of a hybrid
sandwich structure for the side walls ensures they are
light and stiff. Interiors and floors rely on ultra-light,
ultra-strong environmentally friendly materials.
The train is 13 percent lighter, the noise is 3 dB
lower and the energy efficiency is improved
by 15 percent. It is an unmanned smart metro
train, featuring flexibility in configuration.
The passenger information system is integrated
with a search engine, entertainment and
shopping channel system and can be accessed
via smart screens in the windows.
An online operation and maintenance monitoring
system provides real-time data to the operation and
maintenance center, transforming the maintenance
approach to improve rolling stock availability. By
integrating and interfacing with information such as
axle temperature, vibration, lateral stability, infrared
pantograph monitoring, bogie infrared monitoring.
In-motion and smart detection offers early warnings.
