Signals CSMA
Signal Reliability Starts in the Field
Manage inspections, diagnostics, and maintenance of signal systems with workflows designed for signal technicians. Digitize inspections, defects, and maintenance workflows for track infrastructure—built specifically for how track crews operate in the field. Leverage a single source for both Automated Track Inspection Machine data and manually entered track inspection data. Meets the full requirements of 49 CFR Part 213.
The challenge
Signal systems are complex, safety-critical, and highly regulated.
- Troubleshooting is often manual and inconsistent
- Maintenance records are incomplete
- Component-level visibility is limited
- Downtime is costly and difficult to analyze
Designed for Signal Technicians
Signal CSMA reflects how signal teams actually work:
- Scheduled inspections
- Troubleshooting and diagnostics
- Component replacement and repair
- Preventive maintenance cycles

FAQs
Signal CSMA is a craft-specific mobile application designed for signal maintainers and technicians. It digitizes inspection, testing, and maintenance workflows for signal systems, ensuring accurate data capture and full alignment with regulatory requirements.
Signal CSMA embeds FRA Part 236 requirements directly into the workflow, guiding maintainers through required inspections, tests, and intervals. Every activity is recorded with timestamps, technician identity, and asset linkage—creating a complete, audit-ready record.
Signal CSMA supports a wide range of assets including signals, relays, switch machines, control points, interlockings, track circuits, bungalows, and associated hardware. Each asset is structured with standardized inspection and maintenance procedures.
All tests—such as signal aspect verification, relay testing, and circuit validation—are captured digitally within the application. Results are structured, repeatable, and tied directly to the asset and technician performing the work.
Yes. Signal CSMA tracks required inspection and testing intervals and alerts users when activities are due or overdue. This ensures compliance with mandated schedules and reduces the risk of missed inspections.
No. Signal CSMA complements your EAM by capturing detailed field-level data that is often missing from enterprise systems. It integrates seamlessly to improve work order accuracy and asset condition visibility.
Signal CSMA breaks down complex systems into manageable components and workflows. Each element of an interlocking or control system can be inspected, tested, and tracked individually while maintaining a complete system-level view.
Yes. Signal CSMA is fully functional offline, allowing technicians to perform inspections and tests in remote areas such as signal bungalows or along the right-of-way. Data syncs automatically when connectivity is restored.
Signal CSMA captures test results, inspection records, photos, timestamps, technician identity, and asset history. This creates a defensible audit trail for regulatory inspections and incident investigations.
AI analyzes historical inspection and failure data to identify patterns, predict potential issues, and highlight anomalies. This helps signal teams proactively address risks before they impact operations.
