Distribution of mobile applications to users in the rail transport operation environment

Original language description

This paper deals with the distribution of mobile applications from the perspective of the needs of applications to support rail traffic operations, whose needs are very specific, especially with respect to security and a characteristic group of users. The authors conduct a systematic literature review in order to provide a comprehensive overview of the field and to identify gaps in current knowledge, focusing on parameters key to rail transport operations. The research identifies and describes the types of mobile application distribution that can be considered for this area. App stores provide a unified and user-friendly environment for developers and users and other features, but have security limits and approval delays. Mobile device management (MDM, etc.) offer the ability to set security policy and control over the device and applications, with the disadvantages of cost of the solution, limited user flexibility, and the need for secure access to manage the system. Direct installation of an application on a mobile device is fast and independent of other systems, but there is a risk of installing malicious files and limited boot or operating system support should be considered. Each of these methods is therefore suitable for a different group of applications and users. Thus, the study results in a summary of these parameters that are important to apply in a rail traffic environment. After conducting the study, the authors noted the need to further compare the results in detail using other scientific methods and to incorporate this partial research into a broader set of recommendations for the development of mobile applications for rail operations so that a consistent environment can be created for both developers and users of these mobile applications.
