Tuesday, July 2, 2024 Radio communication is crucial for ensuring efficient, reliable, and smooth rail operations. Any major disruption in train communication can lead to delays and cancellations, adversely impacting revenue, productivity, and passenger satisfaction. Alstom , however, has developed an innovative solution to address these challenges head-on.
By leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) in radio communications, Alstom is transforming the management of disruptions, offering passengers a seamless and predictable travel experience. Alstom leads the way in AI and digital technology implementation within the railway industry, providing solutions for autonomous train operations, obstacle and signal detection, and digital train control. This pioneering approach is setting a new industry standard, delivering efficient, reliable solutions that meet the demands of modern passengers.
One notable innovation is Alstom’s AI-driven system, which uses machine learning to preemptively troubleshoot radio behavior, minimizing the need for costly and time-consuming inspections. One example of the benefits that come from this AI system lies in anticipation of disruptions. Traditionally, companies are required to hold on-site maintenance inspections every six months, a process that involves around five people and occurs outside revenue service.
“AI eliminates unnecessary maintenance,” explains Andrea Staino , a Senior Expert in Data Science & AI at Alstom. “We intervene only w.
