In comparison to air, marine, and land travel, rail is expected to be the most effective and least polluting means of transportation. Rail is now the most efficient and environmentally friendly method of transportation.
Because of this, many businesses and organizations are now proactively making a digital change as we all continue to live in unusual times.
Digital twins will continue to rise in importance as a result of the digital shift in the coming months and years, successfully advancing the use of building information modeling (BIM) methodologies across organizations working in the rail and transit industry to deliver various and improved results.
The Germany Rail Digital Twin Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
In Germany, “digital twins” of rolling stock were first developed, which entail automatic monitoring of the condition of waggons and locomotives and comparison of the data with the “digital twin”
The prototype now has technology for capturing and transferring data on the operation of the doors, wheels, and air conditioning systems. In terms of breakdowns and failures, the generated data will be used for predictive analysis.
It is assumed that the state of the freight cars is automatically monitored. The state of the wheel profiles, heat map, bottom and side views, and clearance will be recorded by measurement devices that include cameras, illumination, laser, thermal, and sound sensors (shown in the illustration).
Each time a train passes, information is gathered, and the system analyses whether the state of the carriage corresponds to its reference “digital” analogue, which is also produced by this system. The study will last for two years,
