Description | Define a Reference implementation of an Autonomous Wireless Network System for the Rail infrastructure. |
Main output | The implementation of a Reference Architecture for an autonomous wireless communication infrastructure that will provide connectivity to onboard and ontrack WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) with a Cloud- based platform. |

Baseline | Existing trackside networks often rely on cables between wayside cabinets to deliver communications. This fragile cable can become a weak link in the trackside infrastructure, as it can be targeted by vandalism or damaged by the weather. Moreover, the valuable metal is a frequent target of thieves, and the many meters of cable needed to support a true trackside network represent a significant ongoing replacement and maintenance cost. Cabling communication systems can also be an arduous task, particularly in trains systems, which are compose of many moving parts. The proposal of a Reference Architecture for an autonomous wireless communication infrastructure that will provide connectivity to both ontrack and onboard elements with a cloud-based platform is aimed to free operators from the limitations and complications of cabling a communications system. |
Current TRL | TRL 4 (This TRL value is justified by research tasks performed in the DEWI project. In this Building Block, different software components designed in DEWI will be integrated and adapted to the new functionality) |
Target TRL | TRL 6 (This TRL value will be achieved by developing a system/subsystem prototype implementing the Autonomous Wireless Network Architecture that will be demonstrated in a relevant environment) |
