capgemini-engineering

Rapid urbanization combined with moves to sustainable transport point to increased demand for rail transportation linking major urban hubs and feeding into multi-modal local transport networks.

Against this positive backdrop, there are challenges to overcome. The to-do list to get there is long: increase electrification, find green alternatives to diesel, expand infrastructure while integrating advanced technologies with legacy operational systems from multiple suppliers, integrate autonomous and connected trains, provide real-time passenger information and connectivity, reduce service disruption, a reliable timetable, and offer Mobility as a Service option. 
 
Success depends on all actors in the railway industry mastering innovative technologies, delivering complex digital transformation programs, and building partnerships across digital and technological ecosystems

“Rail is the most environmentally friendly transport mode and fostering digital transformation is of greater political importance […] than ever before. Our industry is continuously adapting to end-users’ changing needs and expectations to further enhance the attractiveness and competitiveness of rail transport.
