imajbox is the first completely integrated and autonomous solution for rail networks survey. It can be easily and quickly installed on trains during their regular service, with no trouble for the driver.
Rail asset inventory and management
Inventory and management of the equipment: lineside signals (semaphore signals, light signals, junction indicators, banners)
Classification of the collected objects (register, type, characteristics)
Communication towards management software and GIS applications
Visual inventory of fixtures: virtual visit in the network (images associated with trace)
Railway shoulders survey
Risk analysis (railroad state, side obstacle)
Maintenance planning : quantitative inventory for budget planning
Vegetation inventory (trees)
Plan of pruning
Create and/or update a Linear Referencing System (LRS)
Build and publish a linear referencing system in curvilinear X-coordinate (topology and attributes) based on collected data or on external data (GIS layers as shape).
Automatically reference all the sequences (Node + X-coordinate, node number) in the LRS.
Automatically assign a position in the LRS to the assets.
Surf in the LRS.
Measure the slopes at each points in you network.
Planning and studies – a decision support tool
Visual analysis of the railway network: review existing railway asset, rail condition, level crossing
Constitution of geo-referenced imagery databases allowing to measure the evolution in your networks
Integration of the data in your own applications via imajnet Web Service
Financial benefit
No dedicated missions: the survey can be done from any train during it regular service
Optimization of the resources pooling the data exploitation :a single survey can be used for several sets of themes (cost cutting of exploitation, better coherence, interworking),
Follow-up and control of the costs of outsourced work (subcontracting, databases images at various stages of advance),
More effective budget appropriation: planning and budget trade-offs more backed up (optimization level of service/cost).
Organizational benefit
Great simplicity of implementation in many types of railway engine circulating normally in the network
Independence in gathering data: reactivity, organizational flexibility
