Rail Forward, Beyond Visible: Radar-Powered Perception for Safer, Smarter Rail with NIART CEO Vicky Alman

“Rail safety shouldn’t depend on clear skies. It should depend on clear perception.”

We’re thrilled to host Vicky Alman, CEO of NIART Systems, on the Railway Transportation Systems podcast.

In this episode, we explore how NIART’s radar-powered perception platform, is redefining rail safety and reliability—delivering long-range obstacle detection (1200m+), all-visibility performance, and a practical pathway from driver assistance to autonomous operations. We also dig into lessons from real-world projects with Indian Railways and Alstom, and how operators can integrate radar as an end-to-end solution or as a service.

Tune in to learn:

• Why radar is mission-critical in fog, rain, snow, and darkness
• How multi-sensor fusion builds safety redundancy
• The ROI story: preventing accidents, reducing downtime, increasing efficiency
• What’s next on the autonomy roadmap for rail
