With the help of the CBTC system,\nthe train will continually monitor its position and operation status, which\nsignificantly improves the dependability and increases\nthe capacity of a railway network. Currently, the CBTC system has been adopted by\nmore and more railway networks in the world. \u0026nbsp;A Cyber-Physical Rail Systems based on CBTC, with more enhanced\ninformation collection, Internet-based communications, and safety and\nefficiency improvement, will be the future trend in the railway system\ncommunication and safety.\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;This presentation will introduce some key technologies in the CBTC\nsystem.
