IoT Powering Railway Networks with Inter-Connected Transportation Systems
Digital transformation has mainly revolutionized the railway networks and that too the biggest contribution has been made by the technology of Internet of Things. IoT connects the broken point of a conventional railway management system and make it more connected, secured, interoperable, analytical, and intelligent.
IoT creates a fleet management system for trains that a railway network can use to manage transportation of goods, provide a high comfort level to the passengers, and garner a high return on investments.
IoT systems help in the creation of a reliable and safe train network that operators can use to schedule train charts and improve the efficiency of other regular operations that wasn’t possible with the traditional silo-structured railway systems. Railway authorities are also using these systems to identify new revenue streams and quicken their maintenance tasks via analytics embedded features.
