Workers wear a small device that alerts them the moment they leave a safe zone. With our partner Tended, we provide geofencing for rail as a managed service, a planning service or on hire, using a system that received product acceptance from Network Rail in September 2022. ## Introduction to Geofencing for Rail Sector Safety Geofencing is a technology that defines a virtual perimeter using digital coordinates, mirroring a physical boundary. These virtual perimeters can be programmed to trigger events, such as alerts or notifications, when a user enters or exits the defined limit. In the rail industry, geofencing serves as a critical safety tool, aiding in preventing workforce accidents by enhancing situational awareness. ### A Partnership for Rail Safety Tended, which develops geofencing safety technology, and RSS Infrastructure work in partnership to bring geofencing to the rail sector, giving clients flexible, easy-to-deploy options across projects. ### Managed Service and Hire Options This partnership includes the provision of geofencing as a managed service, short-term and dry-hire options as well as longer term rental opportunities. This means that geofencing can be easily deployed across a wide range of rail projects of varying duration and complexity. ### High-Precision Geofencing for Rail Safety Solution Our [Geofencing for Rail](https://www.rssinfrastructure.com/geofencing-in-infrastructure-revolutionising-the-uks-rail-industry/) solution provides real-time alerts for workers who leave safe working zones, helping them maintain a safe distance from hazards such as open lines. The ease of creating [safe working zones](https://www.rssinfrastructure.com/the-importance-of-safe-system-of-works-planning/) using Tended’s Planning Dashboard, deploying wearables to increase situational awareness, and ultimately cultivating safer behaviours on worksites makes this solution a sustainable change agent. ### Planning your Working Zones with Ease Plan out your worksite quickly and efficiently with the Planning Dashboard. This online platform allows you to accurately map out safe working zones on your worksite, pinpoint locations using What3words, and dynamically start or stop zones to adapt to real-time changes. It provides flexibility in planning, setting up transient zones that change by time and date, and replicating your [Safe System of Work](https://www.rssinfrastructure.com/the-importance-of-safe-system-of-works-planning/) (SSoW), significantly reducing planning time. ### Track Protection Assets and Valuable Equipment You can also accurately plot the position protection assets, such as marker boards, within the Planning Dashboard and compare their planned and live location to ensure their correct placement onsite. Rail specific overlays, including ELRs, miles and chains and line speeds allow for the accurate planning of safe zones, [access points](https://www.rssinfrastructure.com/projects/multiple-access-points/) and routes for your teams. ### Streamlining Operations with Geofencing Our Geofencing for Rail solution helps streamline operations by providing full worksite visibility. With the [asset tracking](https://www.rssinfrastructure.com/signalling-invests-in-asset-tracking-software/) feature, you can ensure equipment is removed upon the completion of works, supporting the line clear verification process and identify any unsafe events, such as plant entering site on the wrong line. Access the Planning Dashboard from anywhere, on a desktop, laptop or tablet with internet connection.   ### Seamless Device Deployment Tended’s geofencing Wearables require no additional infrastructure, saving project time. Quick to set up and designed to withstand harsh working environments, these Wearables can be easily mounted in various positions using a Klick Fast™ attachment. Once the site has been set live within the Planning Dashboard, workers simply need to collect their Wearable from the charging case before heading to site. Wearables are updated in real-time ensuring they are always updated with any worksite changes. ### Dependable Device Reliability The devices feature built-in fail-safe systems and offer reliable, durable service with multiple-shift battery life. With a typical accuracy of 16mm, wearers are alerted the moment they leave safe working limits. Our system leverages an extensive network of established beacons providing overlapping coverage across Europe, and proactive maintenance keeps device health and performance in check. ### Cultivating Safer Behaviours Access to analytics allows you to view safety data, identify trends, and inform future strategies. Tended’s behavioural science team works with you to ensure a high level of participation and engagement. With resources such as workshops and materials from our behavioural scientists, we ensure your workforce is familiarised with the technology to help remove any engagement challenges. Engaged workers then become advocates for the Wearables’ continued use onsite. The technology is updated regularly, so you have access to new releases and features. Geofencing for Rail is more than a service; it’s a commitment to safer, more efficient [rail operations](https://www.rssinfrastructure.com/solutions/rail-operations/).

Geofencing technology uses satellite positioning to create virtual boundaries around a physical area. In rail, it defines safe working zones for trackside teams, enhancing safety by alerting workers when they stray into potentially hazardous areas. This technology improves situational awareness and helps to prevent accidents. How is geofencing different from a track warning system? A [track warning system](https://www.rssinfrastructure.com/solutions/track-warning-services/) warns people that a train is approaching. Geofencing doesn’t detect trains: it alerts workers when they leave the safe working zone set in the plan, for example if they stray towards an open line. It is used alongside the safe system of work, not instead of protection or warning. Is the geofencing system approved by Network Rail? Yes. Tended’s geofencing solution, which we supply, received product acceptance from Network Rail in September 2022. It uses satellite positioning with centimetre-level accuracy and needs no additional infrastructure on site. What are the key benefits of using geofencing in rail projects? Geofencing offers numerous benefits: **Enhanced safety:** Reduces the risk of accidents by alerting workers who leave safe zones via wearable devices. **Improved efficiency:** Streamlines planning and site briefing processes, enabling more efficient project delivery. **Better site management:** It allows for digital mapping of work areas, including access points, walkways, and equipment locations. **Increased visibility:** Enables real-time monitoring of workers and assets, allowing for quick identification of potential safety issues. **Cost-effectiveness:** Helps prevent accidents and infrastructure damage, leading to long-term cost savings.

Does RSS Infrastructure offer different service options for geofencing? Yes, [RSS Infrastructure](https://www.rssinfrastructure.com/about-rssi/) provides three main geofencing service options: **Fully Managed Service:** RSSI handles all aspects, from planning to providing qualified staff equipped with geofence wearables. **Planning Service:** RSSI provides detailed geofence planning support for businesses that have purchased wearable devices but require assistance with setup. **Dry Hire Option:** RSSI offers flexible dry hire of geofencing equipment for businesses with fluctuating needs. How does the geofencing system alert workers who are outside the safe zone? The geofencing system utilises a small attachable device that workers carry. If a worker exits the designated safe zone, the device issues alerts through audible alarms, visual signals, and vibrations, prompting the worker to return to the safe area. Can geofencing technology track assets and equipment on a rail worksite? Absolutely. By attaching geofencing devices to plant and equipment, the system’s dashboard can monitor their live location and movements. This helps track asset location, prevent unauthorised movements, and ensure efficient resource use. What is the process for getting started with geofencing on a rail project?
