CyberRail is an information technology (IT)-based infrastructure or system concept on which a new generation of railway services is founded. In other words, each railway operator will be able to develop its own new business model based on it to improve the quality of railway transport, which will let railway business regain a pivotal position in world mobility. To realize this objective, there are two basic factors: travel demand and the more difficult pinpointing of passenger locations at any given time. This paper explains a trial approach to realize a partial realization of CyberRail functions, particularly from the viewpoint of how to track passenger locations.
