What is smart city rail?
The creation of an intelligent urban rail network positively influences its operation and increases user safety. Automation improves the quality of travellers, directly affects capacity and efficiency. Numerous systems and applications can affect the operation of the railway, in every area such as stations, railway tunnels, depots or passenger service areas. An intelligent urban railway is therefore an integrated system using the latest technology to improve its operation and efficiency.
Integrated AFC and ISCS systems
One of the most important elements integral to smart city rail is the AFC system, this is an automated fare collection system. It is characterised by efficiency and convenience for passengers. The AFC system can handle multiple forms of payment such as payment cards, QR codes or fast transfers. It also monitors the type and quantity of tickets sold, as well as their purchase time, which provides a database of useful information about passengers using rail services.
In order to improve the operation of the railway through its integrated control, smart solutions introduce systems from the ISCS range. These are advanced solutions for, among other things, communication aimed at the efficient command and control of processes. The term ISCS covers processes such as passenger information, passenger monitoring, automation of transit lines. The integration of operational functions allows for efficient control and management of everything for the traffic operator.
