Internet of trains--a safer autonomous long distance transportation

Abstract

The paper explains how IoT processors can be used to implement Autonomous Long Distance Trains (ALDT) that can out-perform the traditional trains in four important areas, namely, (a) better safety to itself and to other trains (b) better safety to others like bridges, objects at level crossings etc (c) efficient service to the train users and (d) better environment for the Railway authorities to improve the system.
