This research project evaluated current wireless communication standards used by high-speed passenger rail services around the globe and determined, based on those findings, an architecture design suitable for U.S. high-speed rail implementations that addresses application requirements, overcomes limitations, and unifies several disparate communication services onboard passenger trains. The developed architecture was evaluated for its performance and feasibility using a new computer simulation toolset. The findings from this project were supportive of the architecture and pave the way toward real-world system testing during a follow-up phase.
The freight railroad industry in North America is exerting efforts to leverage Wireless Sensor Networks to monitor systems and components on railcars....
In an extensive third phase of a Federal Railroad Administration-funded research project running from August 2020 through July 2022, a team at the Adv...
