挑战
Indra Sistemas, a global technology company, was tasked with building the control centers for Spain’s AVE high-speed bullet train system. The company needed a database that could handle the complex and demanding architecture of the integrated high-speed train control system (IRC). The system was designed from a global perspective, integrating information and control from each of the elements that make up a high-speed rail line. The architecture used by Indra includes three areas of management allowing for different degrees of accessibility and control of the line. The Real-time System Control Framework consists of over 30,000 objects in memory and 30 classes, with 80 TB of information eventually flowing into Oracle’s relational database on the corporate level.

解决方案
Indra chose the db4o object database to manage and control in all three layers of the system connecting to a relational database in the corporate network. The IRC system leverages db4o as a key data management element. db4o provides a single data model systemwide, allowing centralized monitoring, tracking and problem resolution. This element becomes increasingly important as Spain rolls out additional routes on the AVE system. Indra was able to see immediate benefits by integrating db4o into the complex Real Time System Control Framework, using db4o to store the large number of objects necessary to represent the railways real-time state. db4o’s speed allows the system to process over 200,000 objects per second.

Case Study
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.
