Smart railway and metro systems in Africa

Monitoring and analytics for stations, depots, track assets and passenger information. Built for Africa, with AJEEVI AI, IoT and software.

Talk to AJEEVI See what it does

The challenge in Africa

Rail operators run many separate systems across stations and tracks, so faults and crowding are found late.

Why it matters locally

New metro, light rail and commuter lines need systems that stay reliable with limited maintenance budgets.

Typical places: Lagos, Nairobi, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Kigali and Accra.

What AJEEVI delivers

Smart railway and metro systems on the same AI, IoT and command center stack used across every AJEEVI solution.

01

How it works

  • Station systems for CCTV, power, HVAC and lifts report to one platform
  • Asset sensors watch track side equipment and depots
  • Crowd analytics support safer platforms and better information
  • Maintenance teams work from condition data, not fixed schedules
02

Measure the results

Track these after go-live:

  • Station equipment availability
  • Delay minutes from asset faults
  • Crowding incidents
  • Time to repair

From street to decision

Every smart railway and metro systems project follows the same connected chain.

SenseDevices and sensors from GyanYantram™ collect live data.
AnalyseGyanAkshi™ AI and analytics turn data into findings.
DecideGyanKendram™ shows alerts, maps and playbooks to teams.
ActTeams alert, predict, optimise and automate with clear records.

Built for Africa

African cities are growing fast, often with patchy power and connectivity, limited maintenance budgets, and strong demand for solutions that are affordable, rugged and quick to roll out.

  • Solar and battery powered devices that keep working through grid outages
  • Low bandwidth designs with local buffering when connectivity drops
  • Compliance planning for laws such as POPIA in South Africa, the Kenya Data Protection Act and the Nigeria Data Protection Act
  • Phased rollouts that start small and grow as budgets allow
  • Mobile first citizen channels, including SMS and WhatsApp style reporting

Standards and regulations vary by country, city and project. AJEEVI works with your team to confirm which apply before design starts.
