A Methodology for Mobile IP Evaluation at California Capital Corridor Inter-City Rail

This paper presents the methodology for Mobile IP Trial Evaluation at California’s Capital Corridor Inter-City Rail project. The goal of the project is to pursue Pilot Demonstrations to provide Wireless LAN, High speed Internet connectivity and Info- centric Services on trains and this started with an initial co-operation in California’s Capitol Corridor’s AMTRAK service subsidized by California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) managed by the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority with similar efforts at SNCF in France and co-operation between French technology center of excellence INRETS, GLOCOL USA and the University of California (Berkeley). The Trains Connected Partnership Project Work Group was set up to focus on emerging standards, technologies and evaluations which have received interest from various Rail Authorities. The focus is to understand the best ways to incorporate satellite communication, Wi-Fi, Wi-Max, Mobile IP and various promising technologies into broader applications such as passenger service, train operations, safety and security. This paper reports seamless roaming simulations over different systems using Mobile IP.
