Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Mobility ((LNMOB))

Abstract

The amazing development speed of innovative technologies especially in the field of ICT is the pavement for new applications in railway transport, and the benefits of these modern technologies are greater than the traditional technologies. These benefits are not measured at the application level but also at the integration of different systems and transport modes based on the exchange of data. The innovative approach is to link the railway vehicles to the infrastructure and to find the way to integrate infrastructures and vehicles from different transport modes. Digital railway is a new concept and new paradigm which is the way to change the architecture of the railway systems and to push a novel approach in designing and developing new railway systems.
