Staying connected on the go
In our hyper-connected world, the demand for uninterrupted network coverage has reached unprecedented levels. On the move through road tunnels, travelling by train, or even waiting in an underground station, commuters now expect and rely on staying seamlessly connected. Wireless communication technologies, such as Wi-Fi and cellular networks, have provided uninterrupted internet access, real-time data exchange, and communication between vehicles, infrastructure, and control centres.
5G WIRELESS NETWORKS
Always connected
Passengers can stay connected, access information, and enjoy entertainment during their journey, while transportation authorities benefit from enhanced monitoring and control capabilities. Seamless wireless connectivity in tunnels and stations is significantly improving overall transportation efficiency, safety, and passenger experience, fostering the development of smarter and more integrated transportation networks.
Deliver seamless connectivity
To enhance passenger safety and travelling experience, Operators need to rise to the challenge of delivering reliable wireless connectivity within some of the most complex environments. Ranplan’s innovative network planning software offers enhanced capabilities to replicate the real-world scenario and effectively plan a network that meets the connectivity requirements of passengers and transportation companies.
How can Ranplan help you design a wireless network for transportation and tunnels?
Ranplan’s network planning software for tunnels and transportation provides a comprehensive solution aimed at designing and optimizing your wireless network. Here are just a few of the key features:
-
3D Modelling: By importing 3D mesh objects such as trains, tunnels and station structures, you can consider the real-world scenario with common objects in place. Each object can be assigned the correct materials to factor into the RF propagation analysis.
-
Tunnel Modelling: Our advanced tunnel modelling tools enable you to achieve greater signal prediction accuracy by precisely replicating the tunnel's horizontal and vertical profiling, as well as cross sections.
-
Network Design: With our comprehensive database of devices, components, and cabling, you can compare manufacturers and configurations to ensure the wireless network meets your specific performance requirements and budget.
-
Intelligent Automation: Our intelligent automated modules help to simplify and optimize the network design process, saving you time and ensuring the best possible network performance.
-
Signal Propagation Simulations: Our cutting-edge software utilises advanced 3D ray-tracing simulations to provide you with precise insight into the strengths and weaknesses of your network coverage and capacity. The simulations can also be used to ensure your network complies with local licensing regulations.
-
Customizable Reporting: Our software provides customizable reporting for project management, deployment planning, and real-time updates, so you always know exactly what's happening with your network.
5G Connectivity
Enhancing Transportation Systems
The integration of 4G, 5G, and Wi-Fi connectivity plays a pivotal role in the ongoing modernisation and enhancement of transportation systems worldwide. With our network planning software, you can ensure that your wireless network is optimized to enrich the travel experience of passengers with seamless connectivity and ensure a robust and reliable connectivity framework for the efficient and safe transportation of goods.
Applications
Design tailored wireless 5G network for different real-world solutions
-
Passenger Experience
Offering onboard and in-station Wi-Fi enhances the passenger experience by enabling them to work, browse the internet, stream media, access live travel information and stay in touch with friends and family.
-
Ticketing and Payment
Wireless connectivity enables train companies to offer mobile ticketing solutions, allowing passengers to purchase and display tickets on their smartphones. This reduces the need for physical tickets and enhances the efficiency of the ticketing process.
-
Passenger Information Systems
Wireless connectivity is used to provide real-time information to passengers about train schedules, delays, route maps, and upcoming stops. This helps passengers plan their journeys and stay informed about any changes.
-
CCTV and Surveillance
Wireless cameras placed strategically within trains, tunnels and stations enable real-time video surveillance, enhancing security and safety. These cameras can monitor traffic conditions, identify incidents, and assist emergency response teams.
-
Emergency Communication
Wireless connectivity ensures that passengers, train operators, and emergency responders can stay in touch and coordinate efforts in case of incidents like fires, breakdowns, or accidents.
-
Navigation and GPS
Tunnels can be equipped with wireless technology that enhances GPS signals, helping navigation systems maintain accurate positioning information for trains and other vehicles passing through the tunnel.
-
Train Control and Signaling
Wireless connectivity enables operators to transmit real-time data about the train's status, speed, location, and conditions to the control centre. This information is crucial for coordinating train movements, ensuring safe operations, and responding to emergencies.
-
Transport Maintenance
Wireless sensors installed on trains can transmit data about the condition of components, such as engines, brakes, and systems. This data allows train companies to identify potential issues before they become critical, reducing downtime and improving operational efficiency.
-
Fleet Management
Wireless connectivity allows transportation companies to track vehicle locations, monitor routes, and manage the schedules of the entire fleet in real time. The insights into vehicle utilization, fuel consumption and maintenance schedules, help to optimize operations, reduce delays and improve overall efficiency.
-
Communication with Toll Systems
In tunnels with tolling systems, wireless connectivity ensures that toll transactions are processed seamlessly as vehicles pass through. This enhances the efficiency of toll collection and reduces congestion at toll booths.
-
Regulatory Compliance
Wireless connectivity assists transportation companies in complying with regulations by providing real-time data on vehicle emissions, safety protocols, and adherence to transportation regulations.
-
Data Analytics
Wireless connectivity generates a wealth of data that transportation companies can analyse to identify trends, patterns and areas for improvement. This data-driven approach supports better decision-making and strategic planning.
