“…One of the important features that distinguishes the CBTC system from traditional fix block signal systems is that it reduces equipment maintenance costs in the field. Sensitive and frequent train position information can be obtained by dividing the line into small pieces with the moving block principle [9]. To provide the same frequency of information with rail circuits or axle counters, a large number of equipment will need to be placed on the site.…”

Within the rail environment, as well as in any part of life, communication is one of the most important topics. With the advanced features gained via the new communication technologies, train control systems are improving too, especially at the urban transport level with reduced distance between the running trains, more trips can be performed. Continuous communication is the most important role in that improvement. Within this paper a new communication utility is proposed for the urban transport signalling systems. Using the state of art visible light communication (VLC) technology, we show how to design the illuminations of the underground lines as the communication medium between the central processors and the trains. In addition to the signalling systems, thanks to the high capacity bandwidth of VLC, big data transfer used on the other systems like real time monitoring and managing of the trains can be supported. Another proposed design is for providing new features to the recent conventional signalling systems via upgrading the light bulbs with the VLC-enabled LED ones. With all of these aspects shown in the paper it is worth mentioning that existing conventional systems can be upgraded, new communication medium can be implemented or provide more redundancy and availability can be added to the present wireless communication systems.

“…Song et al reviewed the development of train control systems. The authors put forward a train-centric architecture and analyzed the system availability and performance mainly with respect to communication by Petri Net [6][7][8]. Wang et al introduced a new sense-based semipermanent scheduling method for resource allocation to improve the transmission delay of the T2T system, and the method also evaluated the quality of service and how to defend against Sybil attacks [9][10][11].…”

Communication-based train control (CBTC) has been the prevailing technology of the urban transit signaling system. However, CBTC also faces a few issues to extend and maintain because of its complicated structure. This paper presents a novel urban transit signaling system architecture, software-defined train control (SDTC), which is based on cloud and high-speed wireless communication technology. The core functions of the proposed SDTC, including the onboard controller, are implemented in the cloud platform, with only sensors and input–output (IO) units remaining on the trackside and the train. Because of the scalable framework, the system function can be expanded according to the user’s demand, making signaling as a service possible. With warm standby server redundancy, SDTC has better reliability. Compared with the traditional CBTC architecture, the mean time between failures is improved by 39% by calculating typical project parameters by the Markov model based on some assumptions.

“…Trains are not isolated in the line network and the states between trains are coupled. In addition, with the development of advanced communication technologies, train-to-train communication in real time has become possible [8][9][10]. Multi-train cooperative control is currently an important technology to further improve the efficiency of train operation and line passing capacity.…”
