Using geospatial visualisation to deliver personalised real-time information to rail passengers

Signalbox将建立和展示技术，允许实时地理空间可视化列车在整个英国铁路网中的移动。该项目将创建和部署一个API和SDK，允许合作伙伴嵌入实时的地理空间列车地图，使乘客能够查看和跟踪整个网络上的实时列车移动，从而更容易计划和管理他们的行程。为该项目开发的新工具套件将使智能手机能够精确定位乘客所在的列车，并创建他们独有的旅程可视化，可以与朋友和家人分享。我们将研究和开发一种复杂的数据管道，以实时传输这些数据，并允许其扩展到大量连接的客户端设备和系统，这些设备和系统是它在实时铁路环境中有效运行所必需的。技术将支持一系列使用案例，包括提供乘客列车行程实时地图的移动应用程序，显示用于服务更新的引人入胜的可视内容的车站数字标牌，以及用于TOC网站的工具以增强客户体验。

Signalbox will build and demonstrate technology that allows real-time geospatial visualisation of train movements across the entire rail network of Great Britain. The project will create and deploy an API and SDK that will allow partners to embed real-time geospatial train maps, enabling passengers to view and track live train movements across the network, making it easier to plan and manage their journey.The new suite of tools developed for this project will enable a smartphone to pinpoint the train that a passenger is on and create journey visualisation, unique to them, that can be shared with friends and family. We will research and develop a sophisticated data pipeline to stream this data in real-time and allow it to scale to the large number of connected client devices and systems that are necessary for it to operate effectively in a live railway environment.The technology will support a range of use cases, including mobile apps that offer real-time mapping of a passenger's train journey, digital signage in stations that display engaging visual content for service updates, and tools for TOC websites to enhance the customer experience.
