As the railway network is growing and demand for a better and improved system is required, Smart railways are gaining popularity. The smart railway is a new stage of the development of intelligent transportation information systems, and it is the total integration and comprehensive embodiment of the railway information systems public service system. Smart railways are a great solution for managing rail traffic, passengers’ movement, ticketing process, and many more. The introduction of IoT has not only made it easy to control everything but also has improved efficiency.
With many approaches towards its development, some impressive development has been achieved by China. Japan RTRI introduced the railroad system for the 21st century in 2000 - Cyber Rail (Digital Network Interconnected Railway). In 2005-2010, the EU invested in supporting the Inte GRail project to meet the development needs of the European railway system integration. Although there are still no standardized norms for its development.
Smart Railway Concept and Model
Railways are an important transportation channel between cities, and their information construction should also rely on emerging technologies. It should move from the traditional concept of “railway” to the “smart railway”. According to the current research status of railway intellectualization, the definition of the smart railway is proposed in this paper: Smart Railway refers to a railway transportation subsystem of intelligent traffic system in smart cities. It mainly uses new-generation information technology such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, satellite positioning and navigation, geospatial information, and artificial intelligence. It is a new system and new ecology that fully integrates with railway transportation planning to support, promote and guide the intelligent development of railway transportation. At the same time, it is also a comprehensive service platform and mobile information physics space on the railroad for mobile leisure, office, learning and consumption.
The overall architecture model of the top design of the smart railway integrates new generations of information technology such as cloud computing and big data with railway management to build an intelligent information railway, and realize various services such as accessing various intelligent terminals online at any time and anywhere in the railway operation. The main features are network ubiquitous interconnection, intelligent sensing, data sharing, business collaboration, and intelligent services. It mainly includes the intelligent sensing layer, intelligent transmission layer, information resource layer, application support layer, application platform layer, standard specification management system and information security system.
Recent Achievements
- 58 of the 79 stations on Central Railway’s Mumbai division have become ‘eco-smart stations. “These stations have been awarded the eco-smart tag by the National Green Tribunal recently,” informed a CR official.
- The Indian Railway has introduced ‘SMART’ coaches with an intelligent sensor-based system that send notifications to the concerned authorities in case any damage occurs to the coaches on running.
- China has unveiled a brand new, state-of-the-art Fuxing bullet train, said to be the world's first intelligent and autonomous high-speed train with a top speed of 350 kilometres per hour and a 5G live broadcast studio on board, to serve the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics.
Market Prospect
Technological advancements in the sector along with the increased urbanization and surged demographic growth are some of the factors that have supported long-term expansion for the Smart Railways Market. As per Delvens’ market research analysis, Global Smart Railways market size is projected to reach a CAGR of 9.7% from 2022 to 2028.
Conclusion
Railways play the biggest role in advancing the economy of a nation. Smart railways future growth and development also led to boost the economic development of a nation with better efficiency and capacity. We have achieved some milestones in it but its future holds lots of opportunities.
