The Train Control & Management System (TCMS) is a train-borne distributed control system. It consists of computer devices and software, human-machine interfaces, digital and analog input/output (I/O) capability, and data networks to connect all of these together in a secure and responsible to fix manner. TCMS typically provides data communications interfaces to other train-borne systems, as well as telecommunications to supporting systems that operate remotely on the wayside. For security reasons, TCMS will typically be physically separated from Wi-Fi networks accessible to passengers. Because of its central role in coordinating control and monitoring across the train, TCMS is often referred to as the "brain of the train”.

Rising Allocation Of Budgets For The Development Of Railways Bolster The Growth Of Global Train Control Management Systems Market

Emerging economies such as India and China are allocating more funds to the development of their railway infrastructure. For example, India allocated US$18.8 Bn to its railway sector in 2017 and US$21.2 Bn in 2018, representing a 13% increase in budget allocation. Similarly, various countries around the world are constantly increasing their rail budgets in order to deploy cutting-edge technologies and improve infrastructure. For example, the Canadian National Railway (CN) planned to invest US$2.92 Bn in Saskatchewan to improve railway infrastructure. As a result, the increase in budget allocation is a key factor driving the growth of the railway sector, which is propelling the train control management system market.

What Is New In Train Control And Management Systems Market?

The conventional train traffic control system has been focused on safety and punctuality in normal operations, according to an IEEE report. However, more adaptable and flexible management has recently been required not only for train regulation but also for maintenance and in train delay situations. Autonomous decentralized train control and management system are proposed to achieve both real-time train control properties such as train traffic and non-real-time train management properties such as scheduling. This subsystem was created to allow these two heterogeneous subsystems to coexist by isolating or coordinating them.

Train Control Management Systems Market Drivers

The trend of automated metros and high-speed trains, rapid urbanization, rising population, and increased fuel emission norms and regulations are the major factors driving the growth of the train control and management system market. Furthermore, rising investments in advanced technology, system gradation, and increased demand for safe and comfortable transportation are expected to drive growth in the train control and management system market.

Furthermore, the TCMS market is being driven by factors such as rising urbanization and population in developing countries such as India and China, as well as the increasing availability of high-speed communication systems. Furthermore, by automating train and subsystem operations and passenger safety, TCMS improves train efficiency and reliability while shortening response time. The global TCMS market is expected to be driven by these factors.

Train Control Management Systems Market Segmentation      

The worldwide train control management systems market segmentation is based on the train type, component, connectivity, train control solutions, and geography.

Train Control Management Systems Market By Train Type

• Metros & High-Speed Trains
• Electric Multiple Units
• Diesel Multiple Units

According to the train control management systems market forecast, metros and high-speed trains will grow the fastest over the projected period. This is due to increased government initiatives in countries such as the United Kingdom, France, India, China, and South Korea to improve high-speed rail networks and fill transportation gaps, which are expected to drive the metros & high-speed trains segment in the TCMS market.

Train Control Management Systems Market By Component

• Vehicle Control Unit
• Mobile Communication Gateway
• Human Machine Interface
• Others

In terms of the component, the vehicle control unit segment is expected to be the largest component segment in the train control management system (TCMS) market. The vehicle control unit is the most expensive part of the TCMS system. As a result, the vehicle control unit is expected to be the largest component segment in the TCMS market. This segment's expansion can be attributed to the high rate of TCMS installation in developed regions and the increasing penetration in developing regions.

Train Control Management Systems Market By Connectivity

• GSM-R
• Wi-Fi
• TETRA
• Others

Based on connectivity, the GSM-R segment is predicted to increase significantly in the industry over the next few years. This expansion is the result of the GSM-R enabling reliable and secure driver-signaller interaction by pulling combined the most beneficial range of technologies, systems, and consumers.

Train Control Management Systems Market By Train Control Solutions

• Positive Train Control
• Communication-Based Train Control
• Integrated Train Control

According to the train control management systems industry analysis, the communication-based train control (CBTC) segment is predicted to be the largest segment in the market, accounting for the largest share. This is due to increased demand in European countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Spain. CBTC eliminates the need for physical vehicle detection systems such as track circuits, which reduces costs on maintenance. CBTC also increases vehicle turnaround time.
