New Applications of Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network Technology in the Railway Industry: New Platforms for the Emergence of Knowledge based Companies in the Rail Transport Industry
Journal Title: Roshd-e-Fanavari - Year 2018, Vol 14, Issue 54
Abstract
Advances in technology have provided Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) for urban managers as a comprehensive and practical solution in order to overcome transportation problems. One of the most important ITS subsystems, which plays a major role in controlling traffic and accidents, is the Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) technology. VANET, which aims to provide security and comfort for passengers, is a network of cars in which cars are interconnected as network nodes using wireless technologies. In this paper, introducing the VANET network technology, its new applications in the railway industry have been discussed and Rolling stock Ad-Hoc Network (RANET) has been proposed. In RANET, the rolling stocks are network nodes and have a wireless and dynamic connection with each other. Increasing revenue, reducing costs and accidents, increasing efficiency, increasing cargo owners and passengers’ satisfaction are the most important goals of the railway industry, which RANET technology can play a very significant role in achieving these goals and providing the basis for railway transport without driver. RANET can also provide platforms for the emergence of knowledge based companies in the field of modern and technology-oriented rail transport and can be a source of innovation and creativity. The results of the paper show that knowledge based companies will be able to use RANET technology in areas such as train planning and scheduling, dynamic blocking, multimodal transport planning, intersection and switches management.
