Modern technologies are digitally transforming almost all aspects of public transportation. From collecting passenger info to prompt ticketing and platform surveillance, the transport segment witnessed a paradigm shift.

This digital transformation has revolutionized the rail networks and that too the major contribution made by the technology of IoT. It connects the broken point of a conservative rail management system and make it more connected, secured, interoperable, analytical, and intelligent.

IoT creates a train control management system for trains that a rail network can use for managing goods transportation, offer high comfort to the passengers, and garner high ROI.

What’s the Future of Rails?
 The legacy of rail infra will be replaced by connected train management systems. These systems will convert trains into mobile interconnected hubs transmitting and receiving data amongst themselves and control centers. This M2M communication through embedded boards and sensors will help in efficient operations scheduling trains, management and execution.

The IoT based train control management systems offer amazing benefits to railway administrators. 

Improved Efficiency of Trains
IoT systems monitor several parameters and diagnostics of various systems of train cabins like automated doors, HVAC systems, and brakes. It gives clear visibility into the train status, helping to ensure all operations are efficiently carried out.

Different sensors of a train monitor the conditions and performance of train in the form of raw data. This can be compiled through gateways and sent to a cloud through a secure protocol. Cloud applications and portals allow users track the status of the train and its operations in real.

Improved Passenger Experience
IoT allows better experience to passengers. The technology created connected applications needed by the customers. IoT-driven passenger info systems are developed helping them to have updates about schedules, stoppages on route, and unexpected train changes during emergency.

Moreover, infotainment systems are used to entertain passengers. These allow passengers stay afresh and updated with live news, weather forecasts etc. The Wi-Fi- cabin will also help passengers to use media channels.
