Symeo will be taking part in the international Alpine Rail Optimisation conference on 21 October 2025 with its own exhibition stand and as an active panel discussion participant. The company will use this event at the Marriott Hotel in Vienna to provide information about applications for industrial radar sensor technology in the rail sector. The presentation will focus on a concept for which Symeo is currently seeking development and application partners: HD Imaging Radar

At Alpine Rail Optimisation in Vienna, Symeo will showcase HD Imaging Radar technology for automatic monitoring of rail environments.
Thomas Hörl-Weinhold, VP Industry Business Development at Symeo GmbH, will contribute new insights on infrastructure monitoring and anti-collision using radar technology in the Infrastructure Manager Panel Discussion at 5:15 pm as part of the conference. Symeo has already established itself in the rail industry for the development, supply, and maintenance of telemetry boxes for traction units. These telemetry boxes capture energy and position data, which are used both for energy billing and for evaluating energy efficiency. The company is now increasingly turning its attention to its actual core business: industrial radar sensor technology for rail applications.
One field of use is the monitoring of railroad crossings with MIMO radar. Symeo has also developed HD Imaging Radar, an innovation for which the company is currently seeking partners for practical implementation. The technology combines the reliability of radar sensors with the high resolution of laser scanners. Mounted as a sensor array on rail vehicles, HD Imaging Radar has the potential to revolutionize track monitoring. Every passing train with HD Imaging Radar collects detailed data on the area around the tracks. In conjunction with intelligent data analysis, for example using AI, the radar system becomes a virtual track worker that detects damage and suspicious activities in the vicinity of track facilities at an early stage. In the long term, large and complex rail infrastructures can be monitored in real time and on a permanent basis.
