Modern communications technologies on railway signalling systems.
New telecommunications technologies impacts on Railway signalling
About
From cloud analytics to keep assets in working order, through to predictive maintenance with the reassurance of universal encryption to keep hackers out. The railways of the coming generation rely heavily on the communications infrastructure to provide a safe and reliable basis for the signalling of the future.
Initially the talk considers a safe and secure network for rail operation, and the Use Case(s) for communications . The legislative safety functions and then two major developments in signalling, the benefits to passengers and consider constraints these place on the communications network for capacity and resilience.
With an understanding of these system requirements, we consider the infrastructure required to allow us to realise these benefits . Then consider how the system can be engineered looking to deliver signalling systems from the contractor's and the railway operator's perspective.
