挑战
Adif, a railway systems administrator based in Madrid, Spain, manages enormous amounts of information from various sources. The organization had hundreds of applications within the organization, with the same kind of information repeated in different systems. This complicated the information-collection process and created confusion and inaccuracy. Adif needed a solution that would provide a single point of access to information from various systems and applications. The organization wanted to build a centralized, Oracle-based data warehouse and use robust BI to provide company-wide reporting and analysis against that information.
关于客户
Adif, based in Madrid, Spain, is a public corporation that was born from the passing of the Railway Industry Law in January 2005. The main function of the organization – which reports to the Ministry of Public Works – is to implement, administer, and maintain railway infrastructures. Other responsibilities include collecting royalties from operators, and ensuring the efficiency and sustainability of the railway system from economic and environmental perspectives. Adif manages enormous amounts of information from various sources. The organization has hundreds of applications within the organization, with the same kind of information repeated in different systems.
解决方案
Adif chose the Information Builders platform as its corporate business intelligence standard. It upgraded its WebFOCUS installation, which offered improvements in information analysis, as well as advanced functionalities and a higher level of user friendliness. Adif initiated a project that included the creation of an analysis system within an administered environment, allowing its employees to access information without the need for technical knowledge. Users would also be able to carry out highly detailed advanced analysis, generate reports and graphs, and make decisions based on business indicators displayed on control panels and dashboards. The creation of control panels was one of the key components of Adif’s advanced analysis system. A database with well-structured, high-quality information – including the current definition and identification of the indicators that would appear on each dashboard – turned out to be essential.

Building Smart IoT-Connected Railways
• Difficult environment. Communications equipment on trains must function properly in harsh conditions, such as environment temperatures ranging from -25°C to +85°C, according to the EU standard EN50155.• Railway regulations. All products in a train must adhere to strict standards, relating to working vibration, power consumption, and lifetime.• Lengthy process. Time to market in the railway industry can take years from concept to mass production, so product design requires a solid long term vision.

Connected Transportation: A Smarter Brain for Your Train with Intel
A modern locomotive, for example, has as many as 200 sensors generating more than a billion data points per second. Vibration sensors surround critical components, video cameras scan the track and cab, while other sensors monitor RPM, power, temperature, the fuel mix, exhaust characteristics, and more.Most of today’s locomotives lack sufficient on-board processing power to make full use of all this data. To make matters worse, the data from different subsystems, such as the brakes, fuel system, and engine, remain separate, stored in isolated “boxes” that prevent unified analysis. The data is available, but the technology needed to process it in the most effective manner is not. As new sensors are added to the machine, the problem escalates.

Delhi NCR Metro: A Mobile App Revolutionizing Public Transportation
The Delhi NCR Metro, a major public transportation system in India, was facing a challenge in providing accurate and comprehensive information to its daily commuters and tourists. The lack of a centralized platform for information about metro station details, train schedules, fare details, parking, elevators, and tourist locations was causing inconvenience to the users. The challenge was to develop a mobile app that could provide all this information accurately and conveniently. The app needed to be equipped with GPS services to help users find the nearest metro and renowned locations. An interactive map was also required to assist travelers who were familiar with the metro lines. The goal was to provide maximum information with minimum input.
