Railway Mobile Satellite Communication Platform

Railway mobile satellite communica-tion platform is a remote, real-time, wide area andbi-directional data communication platform that isestablished between operation control office andthe running locomotives. The running locomotives(or trains) can transmit the information of locomo-tive operation status to operation control office in areal-time and remote way without the involvementof trackside communication network; vice versa, thecontrolling information can be sent directly to loco-motives from operation control office. This systemcan provide a real-time and remote data commu-nication service as well as a data acquisition func-tion of transport for railway systems such as DMISand TMIS, hence the promptness and accuracy ofrailway transport control information is improved.
