Digital Twin of Railway Infrastructure
/
Digital Twin of Railway Infrastructure
/
for Railway Management
Problem
Task
There was no IT infrastructure in place prior to the solution's implementation
CLIENT
Paper-based document management led to duplication of information and manual report generation
02
The process of collecting information on the condition of the railway infrastructure was manual and labor-intensive
01
Information was stored in various sources—paper, spreadsheets, journals
03
Solution
Directories and Statistics
  • The railway network was transferred into a digital system, and infrastructure object changes are tracked
Management Functionality
  • Managers can see real-time feedback on the condition of infrastructure objects and receive aggregated reports.
  • Service department heads can view and update the status of objects or road sections, collecting data on changes over long periods
It could take up to two months from the time a defect was identified by an inspector to its appearance on the main map
04
Interactive Map
  • An interactive map was created to document defects and request repairs for railway infrastructure elements: tracks, switches, and sections
Status Management
  • The system highlights the most hazardous sections with a significant number of defects
  • The directory contains information on crossings, stations, responsible personnel, and their contact details
  • Inspectors enter information via tablets
  • Paths are closed when critical status levels are reached. Status is set to "normal" after repair reports are registered
A major industrial railway hub transports 5 million tons of cargo annually
about the railway infrastructure from defect detection to its registration in a digital database
Speed up the process of data entry and report generation
Data Input
Rails, sleepers, switches, and sections were tracked using Excel
05
Result
A clear visual map
of the railway infrastructure with easy-to-understand status highlighting for tracks and other elements
A unified system
of up-to-date data on the condition of railway infrastructure
Improved planning and control
over repair activities
Ability to view data for any time period
current condition of the infrastructure, criticality assessment
Reduced labor costs
for data collection and maintenance
