Short-Range Wireless Communication Technologies for Intelligent Railway Monitoring and Control Applications

초록

The railway industry has actively tried to introduce new ICT technologies to railway signaling and communication in Korea. Accordingly, various applications based on the wireless communication technology are proposed and some applications require a short-range wireless communication system. To this end, it is necessary to investigate how to select and apply efficiently one of various short-range wireless communication techniques. In this paper, we compare short-range wireless communication techniques for railway applications in railway vehicles and derive the selection indices of these techniques which indicate their performances and applicability.
