Rail & transport networks

Thousands of kilometres of track, signalling and overhead power run through remote terrain — and a single cut cable can halt a national network. Meridian brings trackside alarms, signalling status, drone patrols and maintenance crews into one spatial picture, so sabotage is seen, located and answered in minutes. The same corridors carry military mobility across Europe.

The challenge

01
Cable theft and signalling sabotage
Today
A single cut cable can stop traffic across a region, as the coordinated arson on France’s high-speed lines showed in July 2024. Finding the exact spot often takes hours.
With Meridian
Signalling faults, trackside sensors and camera outages appear on the map the moment they occur. A drone checks the section before crews drive out, and repeat hotspots become visible.
02
Long, remote and unmanned corridors
Today
Thousands of kilometres of track cannot be guarded; incidents are found by the next train or the next inspection.
With Meridian
Drones and trackside sensors cover the stretches that matter, and every alert arrives with location, imagery and the nearest crew.
03
NIS2 obligations for transport operators
Today
Rail operators now carry NIS2 reporting and supply-chain duties on top of safety regulation.
With Meridian
Incidents are documented as teams work, on software designed for control over your data and operational processes.

An explosion on the line. Found the next morning.

Since the war in Ukraine, Europe’s railways, parcel hubs and cargo airports have become targets. The attacks are cheap, often carried out by recruits paid through Telegram, and noticed late. What that means for the operators who are now legally required to protect them.

The CER Directive: what critical entities must do now

Europe’s critical-entities rules are now law in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, and before parliament in France. They ask operators to do for physical threats what NIS2 asks for cyber: assess the risk, protect, detect, respond — and report within 24 hours. What the rules require, where each country stands, and what it means in the control room.

What is a common operational picture?

One shared, live view of a situation that everyone involved works from. It sounds simple — and most organisations that protect critical infrastructure still don’t have one. What it is, what goes into it, and how to tell a real one from a dashboard.
