ONYX Rail Safety Solutions won the Reader’s Choice awards for top Safety Products and top Innovation Products in the annual Reader’s Choice contest of Progressive Railroading magazine. ONYX submitted its new railroad crossing safety system known as XING™ for readership consideration; they were one of only two companies in the United States to receive multiple awards in 2023.
ONYX has pioneered a new concept in highway-rail grade crossing and critical location safety monitoring, introducing it under the brand name XING™. Through cutting-edge technology, XING™ swiftly detects and reports trains occupying crossings, stranded vehicles, loitering pedestrians, trespassers, spills, sparks, grade crossing malfunctions, and other hazards and conditions. This is possible through the use of artificial intelligence analytics, seamlessly integrating with an advanced, customizable reporting system.
Rob Ayers, CEO of ONYX, says:
“We are thrilled that the vision of the industry and the dedicated effort of our entire organisation have been recognized in such a significant way. Our technology will save people’s lives, improve rail safety, and increase efficiency. This award confirms our commitment in pioneering innovations that shape the rail transportation future.”
Mark Guedri, ONYX COO, adds: “Progressive Railroading” is the leading trade journal serving the North American rail industry. Our advanced technology is truly unique, and we are eager to place our XING™ safety systems on grade-level crossings and at other critical locations throughout the country.”
