Integration of 5G and IoT in Rolling Stock Management System fuel the Asia Pacific Rolling Stock Management Market

The use of 5G in the rolling stock management provides higher bandwidth for the data transmission between the rolling stock and authorities engaged in its management. It also improves train-to-ground communications and helps the operators make better decisions regarding the action needed to maintain the reliable operation of the rolling stock. The capability of the 5G allows the rolling stock and the operator to gain real-time connectivity for the ticketing services, travel information, and IoT-based maintenance data collection for engineering staff. The IoT-based devices in the rolling stock management system improve the operator efficiency to better manage and control the rolling stock. For example, the IoT-based sensor attached to the rolling stock carriage can detect unusual activity, providing early alerts to the operator and authorities regarding potential component failure. IoT-based devices collect real-time information about the rolling stock and help the operator to better plan and manage the preventative maintenance cycles to reduce the consequence of component failure. This factor improves the performance and lifespan of the rolling stock and further contributes to the overall security of the passengers and cargo activities. Thus, the integration of advanced technologies such as 5G and IoT with rolling stock and its management system is likely to create a lucrative opportunity for the Asia Pacific rolling stock management market growth in the coming years.
