Safe, secure and efficient railway operations with IoT and analytics

Railways are a key part of the sustainable transportation systems of the future, transporting goods and people efficiently and safely. But railways worldwide need a major upgrade in their infrastructure, including digital systems. On the passenger side, digital transformation will be key to providing tomorrow’s passengers with a safe, secure and connected experience. Operationally, it will dramatically transform maintenance, management and operational systems using digital technologies, such as IoT, analytics and, eventually, automation.

Nokia can help railways realize the full benefit of digital transformation and automation with an extensive suite of end-to-end solutions in areas including mission- and business-critical networking and connectivity, IoT platforms, and railway-specific analytics applications. This application note describes how the Nokia water events prediction, scene analytics and asset lifecycle optimization solutions can bring computer vision technologies and machine-learning techniques to help railways to ensure the safety, security and efficient maintenance and operation of their infrastructure.
