Train technology 2030: creating the connected rolling stock ecosystem of the future

25 October 2021 | Available On-demand

ABOUT THE WEBINAR:

The train of the future keeps you comfortable, informed, and hyper-connected. It creates a space to relax and work as you wish. The train of the future also allows operators to ensure safety, monitor systems remotely, and increase ridership.

The train of the future is therefore vital to the future of the railways themselves – creating a competitive, attractive, intelligent and sustainable mode of choice.

The session looked at the technologies and devices that can be connected and integrated into rolling stock. How can they work together to create a balanced ecosystem that benefits customers and operators alike?
