This grant is for studying a Wireless Digital Trainline (WiDTL) system for both passenger and freight rail services. Its core purpose is to investigate the feasibility of implementing a wireless interconnect approach for trainline signaling and communication. The aim is to develop a system that meets and exceeds current railroad requirements for robustness, manageability, and performance, which are presently met by analog trainline systems. This comprehensive study includes identifying and evaluating existing and upcoming technologies suitable for wireless trainline operation. The research will extensively utilize detailed modeling and computer simulations to validate the proposed solutions. This grant seeks to advance rail technology significantly. The closing date for applications is August 5, 2022.
