2. Introduction
• Nations all throughout the world will pass laws and recommend suitable approaches to
ensure foundation.
• Extensive assets are spent for its assurance, development, advancement, and
security.
• Transportation is one of the areas that fundamentally influence the financial turn of events
and development of expectations for everyday comforts.
• Lately, the world countenances with interruption of transport foundation by cataclysmic
events (flood, fire, and earthquake), purposeful assaults or mishaps which are
straightforwardly identified with activity of transportation frameworks (street mishaps,
arrival of dangerous substances).
3. Introduction
• ITS: Intelligent Transportation System can be applied in each transport mode (street,
rail, air, water) and administrations can be utilized by both traveler and cargo transport.
• The primary advancement is the coordination of existing innovations to make new
administrations.
• Shrewd vehicle frameworks, for example, traffic the board programming, surveillance
cameras, dynamic course direction, and so on aid assurance of transportation
frameworks and foundations against a wide range of dangers.
4. Intelligent Transport
System in Railways
• A cutting-edge railroad depends on modern checking innovation to help educate
significant resource the executives’ choices, especially those identified with support and
reestablishments.
• The railway industries have consented to utilize GSM for the signaling on high velocity rail
routes, just as for regular railways while interoperating across public lines (European
commission 2012).
• There is a big utilization of smart technologies in the rail transportation system, let us
study see that what are the areas in which it is utilised.
5. Intelligent Transport
System in Railways
The utilization of intelligent system in rail transport could assist with:
• Track Quality,
• Automatic Vehicle Identification,
• Wheel Defect Detection,
• Noise Reduction,
• Vehicle Maintenance,
• Incident Prevention,
• Access Charging,
• Pantograph Condition,
• Axle Bearing Monitoring,
• Overhead Voltage,
• Weighing in Motion
• Ride Comfort.
6. Intelligent Transport
System in Railways
• Following are some various major examples of the Intelligent Transport System in
Railways…
Sr. No. Example of ITS Role
1 Variable monitoring systems measure and monitored a wide
range of variables
2 Train telecommunication
system
Inform from one location to
another
3 Train control and supervision
system
train control and monitoring
based on communication
standards
4 Passenger information and
video system
travel guaranteeing, that
passengers are informed, safe,
and comfortable
5 Train parameter recording
system
logging a train’s parameters
7. Intelligent Transport
System in Railways
Along these lines, the smart frameworks could be isolated into primary gatherings as per the
objectives they ought to accomplish the following measures..
1. Higher speeds: ERTMS allows for a maximum speed up to 500 km/h.
2. Higher reliability rates: ERTMS may significantly increase reliability and punctuality,
which are crucial for both passenger and freight transport.
3. Increased capacity on existing lines and a greater ability to respond to growing
transport demands: as a continuous communication-based signaling system, ERTMS
reduces the headway between trains enabling up to 40% more capacity on currently
existing infrastructure.
4. Improved safety for passengers
8. Intelligent Transport
System in Railways
5. Reduced maintenance costs: With ERTMS level 2, trackside signalling is no longer
required, which considerably reduces maintenance costs.
6. An opened supply market: customers will be able to purchase equipment for
installation anywhere in Europe and all suppliers will be able to bid for any opportunity.
Trackside and onboard equipment may be made by any of the six ERTMS suppliers,
which makes the supply market more competitive.
7. Reduced contract lead time due to the significant reduction of process engineering,
8. Simplified approval process in Europe and greatly reduced certification costs
traditionally associated with the introduction of new systems
9. Example of Rail Systems
and Their Goals
Sr. No. Goal of ITS Example of ITS
1 Maximising capacity Ticketing via mobile phone, using barcodes for example
Reliable passenger counting,
Intelligent ticketing/pricing to spread journeys
Average crowding information included in journey planners/ticket purchasing
portals to enable informed choice
2 Help to customers On train multimedia systems (audio and visual)
Train information on services connecting with railroad network, buses, trams,
ferries, national coach services, and air
Taxi availability and booking information on train
On-train security and surveillance
Station security and surveillance
Real time departure board and other station display
Station parking information and guidance
Advanced booking systems

4 Bring down the carbon
emissions
Parking guidance at stations
Information to enable informed modal choice for journeys to and
from rail stations, for example Transport Direct Passenger counting
for intelligent timetabling and train formation
11. Conclusion
• Smart transport system improves transportation foundation. Their execution is vital, due
to their beneficial outcomes on traffic security and proficiency, lessening costs.
• Street transport has a greater number of conceivable outcomes to utilize shrewd vehicle
frameworks than rail transport. What is more, it is simpler to utilize numerous
advancements in street transport. We need to discover ways how to incorporate more
advances into rail lines to make them more secure.
• Slovak Republic does not utilize insightful vehicle frameworks that much in examination
with different states. It is imperative to carry out canny vehicle frameworks however much
as could be expected to make transportation foundation stronger and ensured.
