Traffic congestion on roadways and airways has increased the demand for railway transport. It is more feasible and convenient for passengers to travel by train than any other mode of transportation as it can provide faster services at a reasonable price. Moreover, railways are considered as a faster and safer option compared with roadways. The increase in demand for railway transport has made it mandatory for railway operators to make their systems more advanced and automated. A smart railway system comprises solutions, devices and components, and services that automate and optimize the use of railway infrastructure to carry out advanced functions. It has several components such as passenger reservation and information systems, freight operations information systems, railway traffic management, operations and asset management, Internet protocol (IP)-based security monitoring, communications, ticketing, and railway analytics.
