Keeping Trains on Time
On-time service has been a primary goal of the railroad industry since its inception. As train traffic increases, railroad operators depend on IT systems that support operations through real-time monitoring and decision-making. ILOG provides visualization, optimization and business rule technologies that deliver solutions for tracking rail traffic, allowing crucial decisions to be made fast. Railroad companies maximize traffic while reducing congestion; improve safety and security; minimize service interruptions; and increase information quality for operators and passengers.
Visualization and decision support
ILOG visualization technology equips rail supervision systems with detailed graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Realistic graphics represent trains and rail equipment, and maps show the exact locations of trains. Operators can interact with equipment and signaling systems through the GUI. ILOG business rule technology further backs rail operators with complete decision support. As data comes in, it is checked against business rules for filtering and correlation. Workload is reduced, since operators only receive information that's critical to ensuring safe traffic flow.
Fully interactive displays
Major railways around the world have adopted ILOG visualization to manage traffic in real time. ILOG supplies everything necessary for quickly building fully interactive GUIs.
- Industry-specific graphic objects
ILOG visualization technology provides a way to quickly and easily implement industry-specific graphic objects and behaviors. Users need only import and connect a graphic object in order to use it. This simplifies and expedites development by eliminating the need for research and design work to create a graphic for a project.
- High-performance display engines
ILOG visualization engines are among the fastest on the market, ensuring real-time display whenever possible.
- Unparalleled development tools
Developers get a complete set of graphical editing and deployment tools. Users can fully modify graphic objects, add them to displays and connect then to data sources.
- Maps and mapping tools
To fully comprehend the flow of train traffic, a controller must see the traffic displayed in a map. ILOG provides an entire visualization system devoted to enhancing GUIs with cartographic information. The system includes maps of regions throughout the world.
- Connectivity
ILOG Server ensures that every computer running a display system gets the same picture. ILOG Server keeps vastly removed computers in sync by automatically updating data across the network.
- Gantt chart and other standard diagrams
ILOG provides graphs and diagrams used throughout the industry to display key information in a logical, easily understood manner.
- Full compliance with other systems
ILOG software is designed to work with all the leading systems. It easily integrates with systems from across the entire industry.
- Web support
All ILOG software fully supports Web-based applications. Key rail-traffic control systems have been made Web-accessible with Java visualization from ILOG.
Decision support
ILOG enables users to quickly capture and implement policies and procedures as business rules. Rules are used to automate decision-making in key data processing applications. ILOG software also makes rule implementation available to nontechnical personnel; people outside the IT staff can contribute to maintaining an application. As well as filtering alarm information, business rules can implement the complex regulations governing rail transport.
