Digital Platform Pilot

Introduction

In this pilot RFF DP proofs the concept (POC) of the digital services developed and hosted with Microsoft and its new developed OSCP framework.

Use Cases

• DS_08 Digital Train Handover
  • UC_05 Inform involved partner about status
• DS_06 Digital Train Operations
  • UC_01 Collect all train related information (TRF, TRI)
  • UC_02 Apply plausibility check (data quality)
  • UC_03 Inform registered users about train status
• DS_03 Digital Train Composition
  • UC_02 Convert from RU train composition to IM train composition
• SM_17.2 GEO Model
  • UC_01 Relate a point to the nearest track
  • UC_05 Shape a location
  • UC_06 Calculate distance between two locations

Proof of Platform

Four areas of interest have been proposed to test the MS framework

• Data Highway

In this test area the ability of the framework is tested:

1. to route messages securely, independent and reliable
2. to convert messages for delivery
3. to convert messages at reception
4. to orchestrate and operate the message passing (rules, auth, monitor, error handling, access/delivery patterns)

• Railway functionality

This area focuses on the functionalities of the platform for railway business

1. commercial
2. planning
3. operation
4. controlling
5. safety related

What functions are available, which are on the MS roadmap, what is open?

• Data model

MS announced that the framework is based on the standardized data model. The tests aim to learn how

1. to use the data model for railway business
2. to convert from existing railway (industry) standards
3. to shape the data model and
4. to learn the roadmap of the model

• Clients/GUI

In this area the tests concentrate on GUI technologies for

1. webbased clients
2. mobile based clients (native, PWA, hybrid, ...) and
3. the development stack (code base, cross over, lifecycle, supported platforms, ...)
