5G Based on MNOs for Critical Railway Signalling Services: Future Railway Mobile Communication System

User Services of CyberRail -- Toward System Architecture of Future Railway --

Ever since the dawning of computers and its related technologies, railway has been one of the major application domains in which wide variety of information and communication technologies are successfully utilized. Substantial efforts have been made in such fields as transportation planning, passenger information services (including seat reservations), train control, and train traffic managemen...

Antenna diversity for DVB-S2 mobile services in railway environments

This paper evaluates the applicability of the DVB-S2 standard in railway environments, where the most peculiar impairment is the periodic deep fading caused by power-supply arches distributed along the rail tracks. This effect induces a link loss every time the train antenna undergoes a power arch and cannot be counteracted with transmission power. Therefore, we propose and investigate the use ...

Fault Tolerant Fail Safe System for Railway Signalling 1

Railway Signalling is an area which demands the use of ultra reliable fault tolerant system since it is directly related to the movement of passenger trains. In the present article, the first part deals with the general concept used in designing such ultra reliable fault tolerant system. The second part describes a fault tolerant fail-safe system developed for Indian Railway Signalling System. ...

Future Communication Model for High-speed Railway Based on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

High-speed railway is playing an important role in mass transportation, due to its lower energy consumption, less environmental pollution, larger capacity and higher safety features. The development of high-speed railway makes people's life more and more convenient. Meanwhile, providing high quality of service broadband communications for fast-moving users still remains unsolved, despite the fa...
