Automatic Train Supervision Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Train Type (Mainline [Passenger, Freight] Urban [High-speed, Metro]), By Service Type (Consulting, System Integration, Support and Maintenance), By Function Type (Automatic Route Setting, Link to Passenger information Display System for Online Information, Computation of Train Schedules & Timetable, Automatic Train Regulation) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The automatic train supervision (ATS) module is a part of the communication-based train control system (CBTC). According to the traffic monitoring information, the ATS manages the traffic and rescheduling of trains in real-time. Also, this system manages to automate the train operations like speed control mechanism, all the vital and non-vital functions for the safe operations of the trains. Furthermore, various government initiatives, funds, and subsidies for developing advanced technologies in trains have leveraged the growth of the ATS system market. Globally the rise in urbanization, high demographic growth, and increasing demand for safety are propelling the automatic train supervision market growth.

The constant growth in smart city projects, urbanization, and expansion in the rail network system connecting urban and suburban areas, adoption advanced technologies in trains, safety- security, and comfort mobility are the foremost driving factors of the growth of this market. Moreover, government initiatives to develop advanced technologies in trains is also driving the growth of this market. High installation and maintenance costs of the automatic train supervision system are some of the reasons that can hamper the growth of the market in the forecast period.

Market Segmentation:

Globally, the automatic train supervision system has been segmented by train type, by service type, by function type, and by region. By train type, the market is further segmented into mainline trains and urban trains. The mainline train comprises of passenger trains and freight trains. These trains are meant for covering long route journeys. Nowadays, these trains have also adopted advanced technologies. By service type, the global railway management system market is segmented into Consulting, System Integration, and Support and Maintenance. The system integration is estimated to have the largest share in this market owing to the aid they provide in identifying the need for up-gradation and adaptation to support the smart railway software, in the present infrastructure, and avoid the limitation of such software. Also, owing to the low cost and rise in the end to end solutions provided by the consulting segment, the market is expected to grow in the forecast period. By function type, automatic route setting, link to passenger information display system for online information, computation of train schedules & timetable, automatic train regulation, display panel & workstation interface, and continuous tracking of train position are the primary functions performed by the automated train supervision system. All these factors are propelling the growth of the automatic train supervision market.
