RTSE Solutions INC.

What RTSE Solutions INC. does

RTSE Solutions INC. is a Vancouver-based engineering consultancy specializing in railway and transit systems, offering services across the full project lifecycle from concept through commissioning. The firm's core practice areas include systems engineering, CBTC and legacy signalling engineering, RAMS engineering, safety assurance, project management, capacity optimization, rolling stock engineering, and product development for railway operators, transit authorities, and product suppliers. Its technology stack spans conventional railway control (ATC, CBTC, ETCS) alongside emerging capabilities such as reward-based AI for train control, AI-driven ATO controllers, neural network-based train control, and AI-based reliability analytics for predictive maintenance.

The company is privately held and founder-led (Co-Founders Mehmet Cem Narin and Burcu Sevindik), operating with a headcount in the 1-10 range out of a Vancouver headquarters at 938 Howe Street, BC, and a Sacramento, CA office. Customer relationships are concentrated in North American public transit (TransLink/BCRTC/SkyTrain in Vancouver, Ottawa Transit) alongside an international footprint of past engagements with Transport for London, Edmonton Transit, Singapore MRT, Doha Metro, and Middle East rail networks. Standard delivery is via project-based, quote-driven professional services engagements acquired through direct enterprise sales, conference participation (InnoTrans, IRSE seminars), and repeat technical engagement.

Beyond pure rail, the firm has extended its safety-critical systems expertise into Autonomous Vehicle Architecture Development compliant with IEEE 1474/1698 and ASCE-21-21, and into Railway Cybersecurity and Data Management/Digitalization services that combine IoT, cloud infrastructure, and AI for automated RAMS tracking. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, consistent with a bespoke consultancy model.
