5G + rail transit, supporting the robust development of smart urban rail systems.
2023-10-27
5G+ Rail Transit Context
At present, China has ranked first worldwide in terms of urban rail transit operating mileage, and the number of cities with operational rail systems and the total length of their lines both place the country among the global leaders. However, as the pace of urban rail construction slows, the operational and maintenance management pressures on existing lines are steadily mounting. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the focus of urban rail transit development is shifting from construction to a phase of balanced advancement that equally emphasizes both infrastructure expansion and operational management.
Smart urban rail transit, epitomized by 5G, represents the future direction of next-generation urban rail systems—a fundamentally new form of urban rail transport built on enhanced safety, greater efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
Development Needs and Pain Points of Rail Transit Train-to-Ground Communication
Based on surveys of numerous integrated rail transit construction and operation companies nationwide, the requirements and pain points of train‑to‑ground wireless communication networks are as follows:
1) At present, the wireless bandwidth of the metro’s self-built private network is insufficient, making real-time video transmission challenging.
2) Insufficient wireless bandwidth hinders emergency communications;
3) The communication methods of smart train status sensors are outdated;
4) Safety inspections of the track area in urban rail tunnels during nighttime;
5) Passenger demand for scanning codes to enter the station during periods of high passenger volume;
6) ......
5G+ Rail Transit Application Scenarios
Leveraging its unique technical advantages—such as high bandwidth, low latency, network slicing, 5G positioning, and RedCap—5G technology can meet the diverse needs of rail transit in areas like operations management, equipment maintenance, and passenger services. For example, Real-time transmission of onboard data, including the Passenger Information System (PIS) and the CCTV system; real-time monitoring of onboard operational status; robotic inspection; and cluster communication services.
