The
invention
- The
problem to be solved:
Computer processing of the relevant
railway related parameters for decision
making and for the design process.
|
- Definition:
Our invention is a self
developed 4th generation
client server, data base management
software for IBM-PC-WINDOWS environment.
This software is able to display the
railway network in user friendly way in
graphical form. It is also possible to
show all the objects of the network and
also the parameters of these object (for
example tracks, signals, level crossings,
equipment, different kinds of
installations etc.). The invention
supports the work of the staff of
different divisions, of the decision
makers (in connection with the questions
of developments), of the authority (it
supervises the railways) and of the
owner.

- Presentation:
Our software is a railway object
oriented, fully graphical data base
management system. Using the self
developed editors of railway objects, of
railway network and its data input
modules the complete railway lines and a
complete - geographical map based -
railway network of a selected country can
be edited. The data base consists of 6500
km of the whole network with length of
7600 km. All objects are grouped
according to different professions. To
each object a data base can be linked
which data base can contain technical,
operational, trade and economical data.
The display of graphical information can
be set according to the professional
layers. The selected railway lines can be
rolled very quickly on the screen thanks
to the graphical method of displaying. In
this way the requested data of the object
can be found easily. All the graphically
displayed information and every data can
be printed out in order to support the
elaboration of necessary documentation
and the decision making process.

- Advantages:
The system does not require specific
hardware and software environment taking
into account its application on the whole
network (as it is required by space
informatics systems). Therefore its
implementation can be very quick, the
maintenance and operation is cost
effective (cheap). Thanks to the modular
structure it is possible to develop new
modules, applications. The SQL data base
makes the system compatible with other
applications. The used software is a base
for a future. The proposed system can be
used as a substitute of a very expensive
(some Mrd HUF) space informatics system
and it is the basic software for many
specific railway applications (dispatcher
system, environment protection module,
regional and suburban train operation
module, maintenance module, time table
planner).

- Self
introduction:
The development team has been established
during the development and installation
of the computer based centralise traffic
control system on the South Balaton
railway line in 1991-94. Since this time
the team have been dealt with software
and hardware development for railway
technological applications as well. All
they are employees of MÁV and all they
act as private undertakers.
