Fully committed to the security of its teams as they oversee the maintenance of its network, SNCF has decided to adopt a solution combining two systems:
- The VOKKERO GUARDIAN professional audio system for communication by on-site teams;
- The ZÖLLNER DAPR system (radio announcement device).
Known as “CLARIS”, this combination of solutions also includes a warning system to maximise the safety of teams working close to rail tracks in non-danger zones. It is designed for outdoor working sites and workers using noise protection equipment exposed to the risk of surprise from passing rail traffic.
ZÖLLNER is an independent German family-owned company specialising in state-of-the-art technologies and a market leader in rail and maritime safety. It offers effective safety solutions for ships, railways and industry. The collaboration with VOGO on the CLARIS project began in 2016 at the initiative of SNCF.

The CLARIS system can be used in many different scenarios, in particular during clearing around tracks, the rail network in France comprising more than 60,000 kilometres.
Multiple advantages
The CLARIS system was created by pooling technology solutions developed by VOGO and ZÖLLNER and offers multiple benefits, including:
- Easy-to-use equipment
- Enhanced security for the teams
- Reduced noise and visual interference
- Increased hearing protection during works without sacrificing the quality of warnings and information exchange
- Higher work efficiency.
