About the session
Shift2Rail paper presentation: “Adaptable Communication System for all Railways” (This work was presented at World Congress on Railway Research ‘19, Tokyo, where it received a best paper award).
Communications technology is fundamental to control systems and evolves rapidly. Railways are not the first to implement and should be able to learn the lessons for others who have gone before us, but equally rarely seem to. We need to break the pattern of current technology and delivery solutions by pushing at the door of concepts such as common shared networks, large scale LTE utilisation and standardised mainline and metro communication offerings, with primary aims being quality of service, affordability and “cultural” change keeping pace with our travelling customer’s growing demands.
