Abstract

The worldwide increase in population joined with urbanization and a more appeal for versatility has pressurized the railroad systems of the world. The solution to this problem is to develop the infrastructure or enhancing the software with the integration of the internet for providing better services to the passengers. The combination of these three aspects of a railway system formed the Artificial Intelligence (AI). The objective of this work is to explore the role of AI in railway Transportation. The overview concludes by addressing the challenges and limitations of AI applications in railway transportation.
