The IDCS will provide real-time access to information and video on the train, reducing operations and maintenance response and diagnostics time. Further, the IDCS will improve real-time arrival predictions by tracking the vehicle location using the Global Positioning System (GPS) and calculating the vehicle location when GPS is unavailable, such as in tunnels. The system will also allow for more automatic retrieval of historical maintenance data and CCTV video. In addition, the IDCS provides live viewing of the CCTV system, enabling security personnel to respond faster to incidents. Finally, this System will employ the latest cybersecurity technology to prevent disruption from external and internal threats while providing our passengers Wi-Fi access.
