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

Signalbox将建立和展示技术，允许在整个英国铁路网络中实时地理空间可视化列车运行。该项目将创建和部署一个API和SDK，使合作伙伴能够嵌入实时地理空间列车地图，使乘客能够查看和跟踪整个网络的实时列车运行，使其更容易规划和管理他们的旅程。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乘坐的列车，并创建他们独特的旅程可视化，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，包括提供乘客火车旅程实时地图的移动的应用程序，车站内的数字标牌，显示吸引人的视觉内容，用于服务更新，以及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.
