RASIC
develops focused products that solve real challenges for railways and stations, designed for live, regulated environments.
Established 10 Years
Sometimes, bold ideas can seem like madness, but it’s through experimentation that progress happens
AlightHear : Dynamic lighting and targeted signalling to improve passenger navigation and reduce cognitive overload. Built for live environments.
Built for live environments. Designed for clarity.
Now being explored beyond rail bridges for constrained urban environments internationally.
DataWharf : Consolidates fragmented transport data into clear operational insight, enabling better decisions across networks.
From data visibility to operational clarity.
Advisory & RDIS:
STRATEGIC & DIGITAL SUPPORT FOR RAIL OPERATORS
Through advisory and RDIS (Rail Digital Innovation Services), we help organisations define problems clearly, shape practical solutions and deploy them with confidence.
Real-world thinking. Deployable outcomes.
Research & Development:
FROM CONCEPT TO LIVE DEPLOYMENT
Rail innovation must work in regulated and operational environments.
RASIC combines rapid prototyping, behavioural research and live testing to ensure solutions are validated before scale.
Supported by Innovate UK funding. Proven in operation.
Case Study Highlight:
PROVEN IN OPERATION
Our work is shaped by real constraints, real stakeholders and real environments.
See how RASIC solutions have been tested, refined and delivered across live rail settings.
The Team:
Led by rail industry veteran Marcus Mayers, RASIC brings together a team of specialists with experience across operations, safety, innovation, technology and delivery: focused on solving practical challenges in live rail environments.
ACCESSIBILITY
DESIGNED FOR CLARITY. BUILT FOR INCLUSION.
Accessibility in rail environments is not cosmetic — it improves safety, reduces cognitive load and supports operational efficiency.
Our solutions and this website are designed to meet modern accessibility standards, including WCAG 2.2 AA compliance
