Rail transportation is being widely recognised across the world as the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly means of transportation. This is in line with the current trend of increased urbanisation in societies and the recognition of the critical need to halt global warming. Whether it's for urban mobility or mainline operations, the rail industry has a significant challenge in increasing network capacity, improving passenger experience, lowering operating costs, and increasing network availability while maintaining safety. With the advances in Digital technologies – IoT, AI-ML based automation, Edge and Cloud Computing, Big Data Analytics, there is lot of scope to leverage these to solve many of the existing problems or improve the current systems.
