APPLICATION: TRANSPORTATION
A2S provides solutions to world-renowned players in the rail traffic, road tunnel construction and maritime transport sectors.
ATEX products are equipment designed for use in environments that present a risk of explosion. In transport industries, such as the railway industry, road tunnels and shipping, the risks of explosions are very high. This is why ATEX products are particularly important to ensure the safety of workers and passengers.

Rail traffic
Rail transportation is a complex industry that involves heavy equipment and complex processes. Safety risks in rail transportation are numerous, ranging from train accidents to fires and explosions. To minimize these risks, it is essential to have appropriate safety and monitoring equipment. Here are some examples of essential safety and surveillance equipment in rail transport:
- ATEX lighting fixtures : These luminaires are designed to resist explosions and fires. They are used to illuminate potentially explosive areas in stations, tunnels and railway tracks.
- Les telephonesand communication systems: Maintenance teams and train operators must be able to communicate with each other to report problems or changes in operations. Our phones are designed for use in harsh environments and areas at risk of explosion. They are used to communicate in tunnels, stations and railway tracks.
- are used to broadcast messages and audio alerts to all passengers and employees. These messages may include announcements regarding delays, shutdowns, emergency evacuations and other important information. Loudspeakers are often installed in trains, stations and terminals to broadcast these messages. Public address systems must be reliable and easy to use to ensure that all passengers and employees can clearly hear alert and information messages.
- Signalling systems :help alert train drivers, maintenance crews and employees of track conditions and important events. They also enable communications teams to operate more efficiently and provide essential information to passengers and employees.
- Gas detectors: Trains can transport flammable and dangerous chemicals and gases. Gas detectors are important monitoring equipment to detect the presence of hazardous gases and prevent the risk of fire or explosion.
- Surveillance cameras: Surveillance cameras are important monitoring equipment to ensure safety in rail transport. They make it possible to monitor work areas and quickly alert workers in the event of an incident or intrusion.
- Access control systems:Working areas in rail transport must be restricted to workers and authorized persons. Access control systems are security equipment that makes it possible to control access to sensitive areas and limit security risks.
In short, rail transport requires equipment appropriate safety and monitoring measures to minimize the risk of incidents and ensure the safety of workers and passengers.

Tunnels
Safety is a top priority during the construction and operation of tunnels, due to risks related to ventilation, visibility, fire and accidents.
A2S offers a range of industrial equipment designed to operate safely in harsh humid and dusty environments. Here are some examples of safety equipment that is commonly used in tunnels to reduce risk:
- The ventilation systems: The tunnels in front of ventilation systems to maintain fresh air and evacuate smoke in the event of a fire. Air quality measuring equipment can also be installed to monitor air quality.
- The security lighting: The Tunnels must be equipped with safety lights to ensure sufficient visibility for drivers and workers. Emergency lighting can also be installed in the event of a power outage.
- The < strong>video surveillance systems: Video surveillance cameras can be installed to monitor the traffic and safety in the tunnel. These cameras can also be used to monitor critical areas, such as emergency exits and hazardous areas.
- The fire detectors: Tunnels must be equipped with fire detectors to detect fires in real time and trigger the alarm.
- The fire suppression systems: Fire suppression systems, such as gas or water sprinkler systems, can be installed to extinguish fires quickly and effectively.
- The signaling equipment: Tunnels must be equipped with traffic signs and ground markings to guide drivers and workers in the tunnel.</ li>
It is important to note that safety equipment for tunnels must be designed and installed in accordance with the safety standards in force in the countries and that workers must be trained in the use of this equipment to guarantee its effectiveness.
Maritime transport
Maritime transport of fuels and hazardous materials poses significant risks to the safety of workers, vessels and the environment. To reduce these risks, specific safety equipment is necessary. Here are some examples of safety equipment commonly used in the maritime transportation of fuels and hazardous materials:
- The fire detection: fire detection systems, such as smoke and heat detectors, must be installed to quickly detect any outbreak of fire on board the ship. These systems can enable audible and visual alarms to alert crews and enable rapid intervention.
- : Emergency and safety lighting must be installed to allow crews to move safely in the event of an emergency. These lights can also help crews locate safety equipment, such as life jackets and fire extinguishers.
- The communication: Ships must be equipped with systems communication to allow crews to communicate with each other and with the relevant authorities in the event of an emergency. Communications equipment may include radios, satellite phones, emergency beacons and messaging systems.
- The sound system: Sound systems must be installed to broadcast alert messages to crews in the event of an emergency, such as evacuation instructions. These systems can also be used to disseminate safety messages, such as procedures for using safety equipment.
- signaling: Signaling equipment, such as navigation lights, side markings and buoys, must be installed to help vessels navigate safely and avoid collisions. Ships carrying hazardous materials must also be marked to indicate the nature of the cargo and the precautions to be taken in the event of an emergency.
It is important to note that this equipment must comply with current international and national regulations, such as the rules of the International Maritime Organization. Crews must also be trained in the use of this equipment to ensure their effectiveness in an emergency.
