Planning, construction and operation. For greater efficiency and safety across the rail network

Digital map and digital twin – precise digital infrastructure data as a core component in planning, construction and operation For greater efficiency and safety in the route network.

Topography and infrastructure in a digital mirror image – as a digital map or a digital twin. The digital map contains data on tracks as well as their environment and elements that are used directly for planning, project design, validation and configuration of railway systems. The digital twin for infrastructure data is an exact, digital spatial representation of reality and plays a decisive role, for example, in predictive and intelligent maintenance or operational simulation of current or future capacities Up-to-date and reliable digital infrastructure data is an essential core component in order to be able to safely operate high-frequency trains at optimum intervals on digitised routes. This is both during the planning phase and later on for the entire life cycle of the railway system.

In railway systems such as interlockings or TMS, this static infrastructure data from the digital map is linked to dynamic information such as train location, train speed, train completeness and much more. For a reliable representation of the route network and moving objects in real time. As a reliable source of information for the intelligent control of traffic flows. In the future, the digital map will form the basis of all decisions as a single source of truth.

The digital map and digital twin expert teams at quattron have extensive process knowledge in defining, capturing, evaluating, locating, validating, transforming, visualising and distributing reliable infrastructure data. With many years of expertise from national and international lighthouse projects.

To make your data management even smarter, quattron has developed an intelligent and reliable process with its TRAXIMIZER, TRAXPLORER and TRAXHUB product lines. For capturing, processing and providing secure infrastructure data for a digital and intelligent railway system of tomorrow.

The advantages of digital maps and digital twins at a glance:

  • Development of individual or standardised processes for efficient and reliable data generation and distribution
  • Development of individual or standardised processes for efficient and reliable data generation and distribution
  • Minimises cost and project risks as early as the planning stage
  • Full security and availability of all infrastructure data
  • Creation of the data basis for BIM, digital maps, digital twins or single source of truth

FAQs

What is a digital map or a digital twin?
The digital map contains data on tracks and the surrounding area for planning and configuration. The digital twin is the exact digital representation of reality, which is crucial, for example, for predictive maintenance.
