Abstract

This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of non-safety services in railways, focusing on the operational and non-operational services that are crucial for enhancing passenger experience and operational efficiency. It begins by distinguishing between safety-related services, which are primarily signaling services, and the broader spectrum of non-safety services. The chapter delves into the various types of communication services, including operational and non-operational services, and their significance in modern railway systems. It explores the nuances of customer-oriented services (COS) and operator-oriented services (OOS), highlighting their roles in improving passenger comfort and operational efficiency. The text also covers the technical aspects of communication services, such as CCTV systems, voice communications, and digital train services, providing detailed insights into their implementation and benefits. Additionally, it discusses the challenges and solutions related to providing internet access and passenger information systems (PIS), emphasizing the importance of cybersecurity and quality of service. The chapter concludes with a look at the future of railway communications, highlighting the trends and innovations that are shaping the industry. This detailed exploration makes the chapter an essential read for anyone interested in the evolving landscape of railway communications and services.

Footnotes
1
CCTV systems are being renamed as video surveillance systems (VSS). Many standards use the new notation but given that it is still not widely accepted among professionals, we have opted in this book for the old-fashioned term.
 
2
Only in those countries where IM and operator are not the same company.
 
3
Telegraph was invented by Samuel Morse in 1845 and telephone in 1875 by A. G. Bell. The famous “Come here Mr. Watson, I want you” was not pronounced until March 1876 [217].
 
4
A more suitable term is user agent (UA), which includes both servers and clients.
