ELEA discovers the train of the future

Published in March 2020 and updated in February 2023

Today, trains are powered and controlled using high-tech equipment, but they can sometimes be late. Scientists are designing a new type of train for the future that will have on-board intelligence, be composed of autonomous carriages and be driven remotely. This will help reduce delays and increase the frequency of trains.

ELEA will take you to see the trains of the future to help you understand this complex subject. Simply play the video (duration: 2m 26s).

Put simply...

On-board intelligence is a type of artificial intelligence that is built into a vehicle, such as a car or a train. It enables the vehicle to adapt to its environment independently without being remotely controlled.
