ARTC — Electrical & Earthing Design
The Challenge ARTC was developing a new greenfield Wayside Monitoring Location at Korunye (53.50 km) on the East–West rail line between Two Wells and Mallala, South Australia. The site required new wayside monitoring equipment, an equipment building and a dedicated mains power supply. The installation included a Hot Bearing Detector / Hot Wheel Detector (HBD/HWD) […]
Customer Counting & Tracking
The Challenge Questacon’s distinctive building design presented a complex environment for CCTV deployment. Obstructions throughout the facility, together with constrained cable pathways and mounting locations, meant that conventional camera placement could not always provide the required coverage. The dynamic nature and configuration of the exhibits also needed to be considered when determining the most suitable […]
V/Line — Identity & Access Management Design
The Challenge V/Line needed to improve cyber resilience across its Operational Control System network by restricting unnecessary access to critical OCS/TCS assets and establishing a centralised Identity and Access Management (IAM) system with AAA and 802.1x support. Without a structured IAM framework, the risk of unauthorised access to safety-critical rail infrastructure remained unacceptably high and […]
V/Line MTO — New Train Control Desk
The Challenge V/Line needed to alleviate the workload of Bendigo Train Controllers and accommodate additional services on the Bendigo corridor by adding a new Train Control Workstation at Centrol IOC. The existing Bendigo WestCAD system was obsolete, making a conventional new workstation installation impractical and requiring an innovative alternative technical solution. The Solution L2iQ designed […]
V/Line — Virtualisation of Obsolete Train Control Systems
The Challenge V/Line operated multiple Train Control platforms — Bendigo WestCAD, Aspectus and Melbourne Metro Phoenix — on obsolete, unsupported hardware running end-of-life operating systems (Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows Server 2016). This created significant and growing risks of hardware failure, security vulnerabilities and loss of vendor support, with no viable path to continued safe […]
V/Line — OCS Network Infrastructure Uplift
The Challenge V/Line’s Operational Control System (OCS) network required significant infrastructure uplift across multiple domains to support the Regional Rail Revival program, improve cyber readiness, and address performance and visibility gaps across the core routing, distribution switching and WAN layers. The work spanned multiple concurrent projects across a live operational network. The Solution L2iQ initially […]
Sydney Metro — Western Sydney Airport Rail
The Challenge The Western Sydney Airport Metro Rail project required specialist technical expertise in Communications systems to develop a credible installation strategy, programme, and resource analysis for one of Australia’s most significant rail infrastructure investments. The scale, complexity and airport operational interface requirements made this a technically demanding engagement from day one. The Solution L2iQ […]
Sydney Light Rail — OT Virtualisation
The Challenge Transdev’s Sydney Light Rail operations relied on physical Operational Technology assets that introduced increasing hardware dependency, lifecycle risk, and maintenance complexity as the assets aged. Virtualising the OT environment was identified as the pathway to reducing operational risk, improving resilience, reducing OPEX and enabling a more sustainable long-term OT management model without disrupting […]
Parramatta Light Rail — Stage 1
The Challenge The Parramatta Light Rail Stage 1 project, between Westmead and Carlingford via the Parramatta CBD and Camellia, required physical installation of all rail systems across the new network prior to dynamic testing and passenger service commencement. This included achieving demanding intersection performance targets, requiring complex configuration and coordination with road traffic management systems […]
Securing Remote Train Control for UGL Regional Link
The Challenge UGL Regional Linx needed to enable remote control of train operations from a new control centre located at Orange NSW. Introducing remote control into a safety-critical rail environment meant cyber security risk had to be managed to Transport for NSW’s stringent requirements — and proven compliant before go-live. The Solution L2iQ was engaged […]
