Insights Powered by Intel-Based Edge-to-Cloud Technologies Help Enhance Safety, Efficiency, and Reliability
The global rail market is flourishing. City leaders seek new transportation strategies to respond to population growth, citizen safety, and smaller budgets. Meanwhile, constraints to existing rail networks make accommodation of next-generation passenger and shipping demands more difficult. Innovative railway operations approaches are needed.
As cities seek to expand railways, railway operators want to use new technologies to enhance train safety, reliability, and efficiency. New technologies with edge compute and artificial intelligence capabilities can also help generate better insights. Better insights can help railway operators and train drivers make smarter safety and operational efficiency decisions.
Intel-powered smart railway solutions combine integrated hardware and software to consolidate different use case applications at the edge of networks. Rail operators can now use existing in-vehicle computers with Intel-based solutions to connect railcar and operator data. Digitally connected networks help enhance safety and railway fleet efficiencies.
Positive Train Control Solutions Helps Improve Train Safety
Intel and its global ecosystem of partners have collaborated to develop a Positive Train Control (PTC) system to help reduce human-error caused accidents. This system uses near real-time data and onboard actuators to stop trains automatically before accidents occur.
