Accurate and secure synchronisation for the rail transport sector

Gorgy Time clocks and time servers for railway and metro infrastructures

Within the dynamic rail transport sector, accurate time synchronisation and distribution are paramount for ensuring smooth and efficient operation.
By choosing Gorgy Time solutions, rail operators can benefit from accurate and secure time synchronisation, which is essential for ensuring operational efficiency and security in the rail transport sector.

How important is it to have reliable sources for synchronising time servers in a rail network?

An accurate time is of paramount importance in railway and metro stations for several essential reasons. It allows for smooth coordination of train and metro schedules, thus guaranteeing punctual departures and arrivals.

Accurate clock synchronisation is also essential for ensuring passenger safety, by facilitating the management of train movements on tracks and ensuring compliance with traffic signals.

This time accuracy is also paramount for efficient integration of rail and metropolitan traffic control systems, especially for managing traffic signals and lights. It also makes it easier to schedule and coordinate rail operations, by ensuring the optimum use of available resources.

It is an essential element for guaranteeing smooth operations, passenger safety and the efficient coordination of public transport services.

Gorgy Time time servers for reliable synchronisation in railways and metro stations

Time servers play an essential role in the efficient and secure operation of rail networks. They have been designed to offer absolute accuracy and reliability, thus enabling accurate synchronisation of railway clocks, control systems and signalling devices.

By using these time servers, rail operators can guarantee punctual train schedules, minimise the risk of delays and ensure passenger safety. By providing an accurate time reference, these time servers enable operations to run smoothly and enhance the overall efficiency of the rail network.

NTP synchronisation mode

Gorgy Time offers this innovative solution for any new installation with an Ethernet network.

The NTP (Network Time Protocol) complying with the RFC5905 standard is a network protocol that is used to synchronise via a computer network, the local clocks of computers with a time reference.

This time protocol transmitted over TCP/IP networks offers extreme accuracy, while calculating and correcting the drift in the propagation time of this information on local or remote networks.

The NTP protocol is highly compatible and easy to implement, which makes it a reliable and profitable solution for ensuring accurate time synchronisation in railway environments where punctuality and safety are of paramount importance.

Analogue and digital clocks for railway stations

Analogue and digital clocks are essential since they provide accurate time references in railway stations.

Analogue clocks for better time visibility in railway stations

With their classic dial and traditional display, analogue clocks are quick and easy to read for both passengers and personnel on platforms. Their timeless design makes them easily recognisable and perfectly suitable for their environment.

In multiple applications, especially the rail sector, the quality of the analogue clocks from the HANDI® range is a reference in terms of accuracy, readability and robustness. Besides, they have been installed in railway stations of the SNCF (French National Railway Company) with a specific design.

The advantages of digital clocks for displaying train schedules

Digital clocks offer absolute accuracy and visibility due to their digital display. Their capacity to display time with extreme accuracy is paramount to the precise coordination of train departure and arrival schedules.

Installed both in offices for the personnel and in halls and passenger areas, these clocks harmoniously fit into their respective environment.
