MASTERIS helps you bring your railway rolling stock into compliance.

The rail sector is continuing to transition to more sustainable and safer solutions. Lighting, an essential element for the safety and comfort of travelers, is one of the fields in full evolution. LED lights, mandatory by the STI operation and traffic management, are now essential and offer certain advantages compared to more conventional lights.

LED lights: a challenge for rail safety

Train exterior lighting plays a central role in traffic safety: headlights, position lights or brake lights ensure the visibility of the trains and their detection from a distance. Thanks to their light intensity, LEDs ensure better visual perception In all conditions (night, fog, bad weather).
This performance contributes directly to reducing the risk of accidents and to strengthening the safety of the various rolling stock in operation.

‍

An Energy and Environmental Gain

LEDs consume Up to 80% less energy than halogen or incandescent technologies. For operators, this means:

• One Reduction in electricity consumption rolling stock.
• One Lower Environmental Impact, in line with the energy transition objectives of the rail sector.

These cumulative energy savings at the scale of an entire railway fleet are significant and contribute to a more responsible operation!

Longer lifespan and less maintenance

Another Major Advantage Lies in the LED longevity : 30,000 to 50,000 hours of use, much more than for traditional fires.
Direct consequences:

• Fewer replacements.
• Fewer train immobilizations.
• Reduced maintenance costs.

For operators, it is a reliable and sustainable solution, adapted to the constraints of railways.

A legal obligation

In addition to the technical, economic and environmental benefits, it is important to remember that The integration of LED lights is now a regulatory requirement.
Operators must therefore ensure that their rolling stock is in compliance in order to meet the standards in force, in particular the STI operation and traffic management.
