The transportation sector is a pillar of the modern world. It moves people and goods, powers economic growth and a more equitable global society. Cummins understands that rail is a critical component of this eco-system.
But the quest for sustainability is reshaping the industry and achieving fundamental change is no easy task. It involves critical decision-making, committed investment and pioneering technology. As the rail industry considers its tomorrow, we look at the direction of travel – the tracks that rail is on.
Connectivity has the power to bring technologies together. IoT assets generate essential data. AI makes sense of it. Machine learning leads the execution of tasks. Connectivity unites them and amplifies the value of them all.
5G connectivity means more reliability and lower latency. For the rail industry, this means the number of IoT devices on locomotives can grow without congesting the wavelengths. Mission-critical tasks requiring instant intervention can now be handled through connected devices.
Locomotives are getting increasingly connected, and the emergence of 5G will further fuel the use of connectivity across the rail world.
