Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI)

Accurately identifying and tracking high speed vehicles and rolling stock in extremely challenging environments.

Automatic Vehicle Identification

Automatic Vehicle Indentification (AVI) systems offer the ability to detect the presence of vehicles instantly and automatically – together with their unique identity. This information can be used to simply log movements over time, or the Coriel platform can provide notifications and alerts to systems downstream – allowing people or software systems to prepare for the pending arrival.

Typical applications of AVI include rail and freight identification, electronic toll collection, gate access/automation & yard management, all of which can be combined with a variety of sensing technologies to combine accurate vehicle identification with visual damage/condition assessments, weigh, direction of travel and much more.

Powered by corielLINE-AVI

corielLINE-AVI is our powerful line-side RFID solution for Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) in rail applications. Designed for high-speed, long-range performance, this system precisely identifies rail vehicles and rolling stock as they pass trackside readers, achieving reliable detection of passive UHF RFID tags at speeds of up to 125mph.

Leveraging GS1 and BSI prEN 17230 standards, corielLINE-AVI integrates seamlessly with mainline and depot environments. It supports real-time vehicle monitoring and anomaly detection to streamline maintenance and enhance operational efficiency.

What’s the purpose of Automatic Vehicle Identification?

Automatic Vehicle Identification allows you to intelligently manage your fleet of vehicles and make informed decisions that help you reduce costs, increase safety and optimise your people.

Streamline maintenance depots

Designed to integrate into depot workflows, corielLINE-AVI streamlines maintenance scheduling by automating vehicle identification and orientation logging.

Utilising this technology, maintenance depot staff and systems can prepare for a vehicle’s pending arrival, ensuring staff, tools, and parts are ready. This allows vehicles to be serviced quickly, getting them back into service as soon as possible, reducing downtime and providing a compelling Return on Investment (ROI).

Automatically trigger third-party systems

Our controlling software, corielEDGE, connects to your existing management platform and systems, such as weigh scales, fault detection camera systems, or maintenance tools. It provides the critical link between the data you collect and the vehicle itself. Read our Alstom case study for an example of this system in action.

Precise rolling stock tracking

corielLINE-AVI enables real-time tracking of rail vehicles, logging each asset’s unique European Vehicle Number (EVN) and side orientation. This precise tracking data is crucial for regulatory compliance and network safety, helping rail operators and infrastructure managers ensure efficient asset utilisation and visibility across mainline operations.

Why our customers choose us?

We have a deep understanding of the complex issues around identifying, monitoring and digitally tracking vehicles in typically challenging industrial applications such as the rail industry, where vehicles are usually travelling at speed, spend most of their time outdoors and are often exposed to dirt, chemicals and oils. Providing reliable AVI solutions in these harsh condition is where we excel.

Success Stories

The Alstom TrainScanner system quickly analyses the condition of critical parts on engines, carriages and freight vehicles as they drive though the portal. Coriel provide the critical identification technology for this project.

VTG manage over 95,000 railcars within their wagon hire fleet using solutions from Coriel that help ensure each car is inspected & maintained to the highest standard for their customers.

Coriel work extensively with the Network Rail team to provide the item-level passive RFID tags applied to their fleet of engines, carriages and freight vehicles. These identification devices are then used by partners across the world.
