Railway Collision Avoidance System Design & Integration

The contract entails the end-to-end design, engineering, and integration of a real-time collision avoidance system tailored for light rail vehicles, encompassing the development and deployment of advanced sensor arrays, artificial intelligence-driven analytics for hazard detection and response, and fail-safe control mechanisms to ensure operational safety under all conditions. The solution must be fully functional within existing rail infrastructure, capable of processing environmental data in real time, and designed to trigger automatic braking or speed adjustments to prevent collisions with other vehicles, obstacles, or personnel on or near the tracks. The subcontract is associated with the Transportation agency under Arizona and falls under the NAICS code 334511, indicating focus on navigation, measuring, electromedical, and control instruments manufacturing. The solicitation was posted on May 7, 2026, with responses due by May 29, 2026, and the work is expected to be performed within Arizona’s rail network. While specific performance locations and point of contact details are not provided, the project requires deep technical expertise in embedded systems, machine learning for dynamic environments, and railroad safety standards, with an emphasis on reliability, redundancy, and compliance with industry safety protocols.
