Railway Analytics: What does it bring to the table?
New technologies in the form of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and other leading market names have surfaced a new perspective of visualizing everything that the environment comprises of. It’s not just the daily life objects like watches and clocks that have come to life with concepts like Internet of Things (IoT), but the conventional avenues hold immense potential on integration with IoT’s industrial rendition. In this case, we’re talking about transportation and the idea of smart railways.
Arguably the most preferred method to commute for a majority of people across the world, artificial intelligence, big data, and their subsequent derivatives are driving the reality of empowering railways in a manner that will heighten the attributes of its current functioning.
With a large number of sensors sending real-time input to a central hub, the experience of railways stands on the verge of a revolution for businesses, in case of cargo, and people.
Issues associated with railway networks including train delay, component repair, faulty machinery, etc, have been the leading causes of traveler’s discomfort. However, adding ‘Analytics’ to railway will not just improve the efficiency of operations, but enable the authorities and departments to be well-informed and prepared for multiple possible scenarios.
With adequate investment from funds interested in new-age technology ventures, companies and/or startups working towards the progress in railway analytics direction stand to gauge major attention and impetus from investment portfolio holders that are aligned with their vision of development.
After the deployment of predictive analysis, AI and Industrial IoT, the rail industry could soon see a transformation akin to that offered by self-driving cars – albeit on a much larger scale and with a considerably larger impact on transport infrastructure. Smart Railways, as a concept, will not have an impact limited to its vicinity, rather the improved functioning might just be the key to streamline the division of commuters across the multiple facets of transport as an industry.
