Integrated Railway Infrastructure Management System with Uniform Location on a Kilometerage Basis

Abstract

For railway infrastructure management, railway companies carry out inspections and manage inspection data with ledger data, by 'field', such as track, civil engineering, electric power, and signal. If we can browse and analyze these data comprehensively, the quality of infrastructure management can be improved, eventually increasing running safety. Therefore, we are developing a system that integrates inspection data and ledger data from each field. In this paper, we show elemental technologies required for developing the system, after organizing merits of integrated data management. In addition, we show some examples of using the integrated management system for infrastructure management across fields.
