Pays de la Loire

Blue Sentinel was developed in collaboration with Infrapôle Pays de la Loire (a regional engineering unit of SNCF Réseau, the French rail infrastructure manager). It meets a major need: to reduce wildlife collisions and strikes on the line.

We first approached Elan Cité in 2022, for its strong industrial know-how. From our very first discussions, the team was highly professional, attentive and fully committed to assessing the potential and feasibility of Blue Sentinel. Elan Cité's people adapted perfectly to our specific railway environment, very different from their usual field. Despite those differences, we soon realised the underlying technologies were close, which created real synergy. Their responsiveness, availability and ability to imagine, design and test such an innovative system were greatly appreciated throughout the partnership.
Today, the results exceed our expectations. We are proud of a collaboration that brought to life a high-impact technical solution we built together.
