Radio communication plays a vital role in maintaining top-notch, robust, and streamlined rail operations.
Any significant interruptions in train communication can lead to unwanted delays and cancellations, which can have a detrimental effect on revenue, productivity, and passenger satisfaction. However,
'AI eliminates unnecessary maintenance. We intervene only when and where necessary, leading to less disruptions for the passenger.'

One standout solution is
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

This tool pinpoints and diagnoses issues within the train-to-ground radio network, ensuring swift resolution and maintaining service continuity.
It identifies signal disruption due to factors like dirt, antenna tilt, and cable wear, allowing targeted interventions. Complex issues that would require lengthy investigations are automatically identified and addressed by the AI system, streamlining operations, and enhancing overall reliability.
The future of
'It's a game changer for mobility. We need humans to trust the algorithm results and they're inclined to do that if they understand how AI works and can see that a decision is safe and reliable.'
Andrea is thrilled to be introducing digital innovation into an industry that values safety above all. He says, 'It's a game changer for mobility. We need humans to trust the algorithm results and they're inclined to do that if they understand how AI works and can see that a decision is safe and reliable.' The goal is to develop robust, fair, explainable, and trustworthy AI systems that will ultimately provide enhanced safety and reliability in rail travel.
