Network Rail has created the perfect route to digitally transform the UK railways, one of those stops is smart infrastructure. The ticket to smart infrastructure is data, insights, AI, machine learning, to ultimately transition from being a reactive industry to a proactive one

KeTech is back in the UK after spending a successful couple of weeks in New Zealand and Australia where the team connected with new and existing customers and exhibited for the second time at AusRail.

Stations are living spaces within cities, where modern architectural lines meet older and more historical ones. Over the years, technology has been implemented and upgraded, but the intelligence behind it still isn’t there.

This time last year we weren’t allowed to go anywhere and this year with rising fuel prices we can’t afford to go anywhere. The price of fuel is rapidly rising in the UK and currently there’s no light at the end of the funnel.

C-DAS is a piece of technology which delivers significant benefits. These include: • Better train regulation to optimise network capacity and performance • Improved recovery from disruption • Improved support for conflict resolution (based on predicted running of trains), • Reductions in energy use and carbon emissions • Reductions in wear and tear, e.g. wheelsets and brake equipment.

Digital transformation in the rail industry has already left the station but it’s going to be a long journey due to the fact that it is built, literally, on a centuries-old platform.
