Wavetrain secures updated CENELEC SIL2 approval for its AI and Machine Learning–powered Level Crossing Warning System
Lysaker, Norway – Wavetrain Systems AS, a subsidiary of Nordic Technology Group AS (NTG), is pleased to announce that its latest Level Crossing Warning System has achieved an updated CENELEC SIL2 approval. The system is powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), delivering robust detection performance and opening significant market opportunities in condition‑based monitoring and maintenance.
Building on this technology, Wavetrain has completed final trial activities with Network Rail, Wavetrain’s key launch customer. This milestone marks an important step toward broader deployment of the solution to enhance safety and efficiency at level crossings.
"Achieving updated CENELEC SIL2 approval, together with the successful completion of our final trials with Network Rail, demonstrates the maturity and reliability of our AI‑driven approach," said Pål E. Bratlie, CEO of Wavetrain Systems AS. "Our technology is designed to be installed quickly, operate autonomously, and deliver the actionable insights operators need to improve safety while significantly reducing lifecycle costs."
Strong global traction
Following the Network Rail purchase of one system, and next approval steps towards final type approval, interest in Wavetrain’s solution continues to accelerate worldwide. Wavetrain is in active dialogue with infrastructure stakeholders across Europe, North and Central America, Asia, and Oceania.
• Two countries have initiated national approval processes and have decided to purchase one Wavetrain’s Level Crossing Warning System.
• Wavetrain is also advancing negotiations with four more countries for system sales and national roll‑outs.
Together, Network Rail and the two countries initiating national approvals represent more than 23,000 level crossings corresponding to a total addressable market (TAM) of more than NOK 11 billion, highlighting the significant market potential for Wavetrain’s solution.
