Abstract

Autonomous Train is increasingly attracting the interest of researchers and industrials due to its numerous advantages regarding security and safety, service improvement, and costs reduction. Nonetheless, the Autonomous Train still faces many challenges including safety and security, fleet coordination, interoperability, and traceability. In this paper, the disruptive technology Blockchain is explored for a potential adoption for Autonomous Train deployment in order to overcome some of the Autonomous Train challenges. Finally, an illustrative example of a potential Blockchain application in the Autonomous Train domain is presented.
