01 / REVERSING
Improve rearward awareness
Dedicated rear and side camera positions can provide visibility when reversing or manoeuvring in confined areas.

Clearer visibility in the yard.
For shunting, reversing and low-speed movements.
Rail yards and depots are dynamic environments. Locomotives move close to rolling stock, infrastructure, people and equipment while the operator’s available view changes with each movement. Sentinel focuses 360° vehicle visibility around these practical operating problems.
// The yard problem
More movement. More changing sight lines.
Yard and shunting work can involve reversing, coupled movements, shed entries, tight clearances and repeated changes of direction. The objective is not to replace safe operating procedures — it is to provide a clearer visual picture around the vehicle.
02 / SHEDS
See around long vehicles
Side coverage can help address areas that are difficult to observe from a cab during shed and depot movements.

Support operator awareness
A multi-camera perimeter view can help operators understand the immediate environment around the vehicle.

Specify the viewing zones that matter.
Sentinel does not prescribe one universal configuration. We start with the vehicle, the movement and the areas the operator needs to see, then define a practical camera layout.
- Reversing direction and route
- Vehicle length and articulation
- People and equipment proximity
- Shed, depot and yard geometry
// Related rail technology
Visibility is one part of a connected rail workflow.
Combine vehicle visibility with automatic asset identification where the operating problem also includes knowing which locomotive or rail asset has moved through a location.
// Frequently asked questions
Questions buyers and technical teams often ask.
Is this a driver monitoring system?
No. The Sentinel offering described here is a vehicle perimeter visibility system intended to give operators a clearer view around the vehicle. It should not be represented as a replacement for operating procedures, signalling or required safety systems.
What environments are targeted?
The rail-focused application is intended for shunting, reversing, yards, sheds, depots and other low-speed manoeuvring environments. Final suitability depends on the specific operating environment.
Can the system be configured for different vehicles?
Yes. Camera placement is configurable around the vehicle and required fields of view.
