TCMS or Train control and management system is
a control system for trains that controls and manages the flow of information
between the train and sub systems of trains, such as the air conditioner,
brakes, video surveillance and trains doors. It provides a single point of
control over all the train sub-systems. It comprises digital and analog
input/output (I/O), human machine interfaces, computer devices & software,
and data networks to connect all these together in a secure &
fault-resistant manner. TCMS is also often referred to as the “brain of the
train” owing to its central role in coordinating control & monitoring
across disparate systems. It is the standard control, communication & train
management system for all vehicle platforms or applications ranging from
metros, trams, passenger coaches and people movers to multiple-car trains,
high-speed trains and high-performance locomotives.
According to study, “Global
Train Control and Management System (TCMS) Market Status (2015-2019)
and Forecast (2020-2024) by Region, Product Type & End-Use” the key
companies operating in the global TCMS market are Bombardier Inc., Mitsubishi
Electric Corporation, Alstom SA, Toshiba Corporation, Siemens AG, Knorr-Bremse
AG, Hitachi Ltd., IBM Corporation, Eke Group, Indra Sistemas, S.A, Strukton
Rail, GE Transportation, CAF, Computer Sciences Corporation, Ansaldo STS.
Based on train type, TCMS market is segmented
into electric multiple units train, metros & high speed trains and diesel
multiple units trains. Metros & high speed trains segment holds major share
in market owing to rise in government initiatives to enhance high-speed rail
network. Based on components type, market is segmented into mobile communication
gateway, computer control units, human machine interfaces and modular
input/output devices. Based on train control solution type, market is segmented
into integrated train control, positive train control and communication based
train control. Positive train control segment dominates the market because of
rise in knowledge about several safety features provided by these control units
for instance line speed enforcement, temporary speed restrictions, collision
avoidance between trains, and rail worker wayside safety during the forecast
period. Communication based train control segment is anticipated to witness
higher growth rate due to its benefits such as reduced maintenance costs and
enhanced interoperability during the forecast period. In addition, based on connectivity,
market is segmented into Tetra, Wi-Fi, GSM-R and others.
The TCMS market is driven by rise in trend of
automated metros & high-speed trains, followed by increase in fuel emission
norms & regulations, increase in urbanization, upgrade of the systems, rise
in investments in technology, growth in population growth & urbanization,
rise in development of light rail transit and increase in demand for safe &
comfortable transport. However, a potential malfunction or system failure and
lack of interoperability may impact the market. Moreover, rise in demand for
TCMS-equipped rolling stocks in emerging markets is a key opportunity for
market.
Based on geography, the North-American region
dominates the TCMS market owing to rise in global downstream demand for TCMS
and significant increase in the government expenditure on various high speed
rail projects in the region. Whereas, the Asian-Pacific and European regions
are estimated to exhibit considerable growth rate due to increase in the need
for energy efficiency and reduction in road traffic congestion over the
forecast period. In upcoming years, it is projected that future of the market
will be bright as a result of increase in public investment in rail projects
and rise in development of railway infrastructure during the forecast period.
