The client operates in the transportation sector, specifically managing a vast railway network. The primary challenge was to equip dispatchers with advanced digital tools to efficiently manage train schedules, handle real-time traffic data, and proactively resolve conflicts that arise from track usage and scheduling errors.

About the Client:

OmegaLab developed a web-based TPS tailored to the needs of railway dispatchers. This solution included a dynamic railway network map, an interactive timetable, and advanced capacity management features. The application enables transparent control over railway operations using real-time data, providing both a comprehensive overview and granular control for dispatchers.

Project Overview

Efficient Traffic & Capacity Management: The client needed a real-time traffic management system that could visually represent train routes, stops, and any maintenance activities to optimize train scheduling.
Conflict Identification & Resolution: Anticipate potential scheduling conflicts, track incidents, and meet constraints in real-time, providing alerts and conflict resolution tools for dispatchers.
Scalable & Responsive Architecture: To handle large volumes of railway data effectively, the client required a robust and responsive system for seamless operation.

Challenges & Objectives

Solution Implementation

Railway Traffic Management Tools

Developed a set of tools to allow dispatchers to efficiently manage train routes, monitor ongoing maintenance, and make schedule adjustments in real-time. The system incorporates IoT sensor data to ensure accurate and up-to-date information on train movements and conditions.

Conflict Management System

Implemented an advanced conflict management module that alerts dispatchers to potential scheduling conflicts, train meets, track incidents, and more. The system provides visual representations of conflicts and offers suggestions for resolution to improve efficiency.

Interactive Network Mapping & Visualization

Equipped the TPS with a dynamic railway network map and interactive timetables, allowing for transparent operations management and enhancing dispatchers' ability to respond to emerging issues quickly.

Scalable Architecture & Improved Performance:

Optimized the system's front-end and adopted microservices to enhance responsiveness and scalability, ensuring that the system performs reliably even under high data loads.

Transparent & Efficient Traffic Management: The comprehensive set of tools enabled dispatchers to manage railway traffic transparently and efficiently, leading to smoother railway operations.
Proactive Conflict Resolution & Safety Compliance: The conflict management module provided dispatchers with actionable insights, allowing for timely resolution of potential issues and ensuring safety compliance.
Enhanced System Performance & Robust Architecture: The implementation of microservices and optimization of the front-end resulted in faster system response times and the ability to manage large data volumes effectively.
