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

Signalbox 将构建并演示能够对英国整个铁路网络中的列车运行进行实时地理空间可视化的技术。该项目将创建和部署一个 API 和 SDK，允许合作伙伴嵌入实时地理空间列车地图，使乘客能够在网络上查看和跟踪实时列车运行情况，从而更轻松地规划和管理他们的旅程。为此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，并创建乘客独有的旅程可视化，并可以与朋友和家人分享。我们将研究和开发一个复杂的数据管道，以实时传输这些数据，并使其能够扩展到大量连接的客户端设备和系统，这是在实时铁路环境中有效运行所必需的。该技术将支持一系列用例，包括提供乘客火车行程实时地图的移动应用程序、显示引人入胜的服务更新视觉内容的车站数字标牌，以及用于增强客户体验的 TOC 网站工具。

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.
