DiLoc Rail modules

DiLoc is a commercial web-based software solution for rail passenger transport and rail freight transport , which forms the central system for dispatching and locating vehicles, for passenger information and for document distribution . The system was designed and developed by the German company CN-Consult GmbH in Mittenaar. Diloc is a combination of words: Di = disposition and Loc = localization.

description

The basic DiLoc system has a modular structure and consists of the three products DiLoc | Motion (disposition and passenger information on the stations), DiLoc | OnBoard (passenger information in the vehicles) and DiLoc | Sync (document distribution and communication platform for mobile people) .

All products have a modular structure. Functions are activated according to a license system.

DiLoc | Motion

DiLoc | Motion is an independent, multi-client platform for dispatching and passenger information, which uses interfaces to collect information from different data sources such as GPS location systems , control systems (LeiDis, Iltis , BBR), timetables and passenger information (e.g. VDV 453, 454 ) processed. The information is the decreasing railway company (TOC) as a real-time data provided, including delays, platform changes, diversions and connections in tabular form and in ZWL diagrams available as well as to the display and announcement systems ( passenger information systems ) distributed to the stations.

DiLoc | OnBoard

DiLoc | OnBoard is a system solution consisting of software and hardware for passenger information in vehicles.

The vehicles are supplied with data (e.g. timetable updates, planning changes, forecasts, connections) in real time via the central DiLoc | Motion system. Via the open MPI (Mobile Passenger Information) interface developed by CN-Consult GmbH, location data and diagnostic data can also be transmitted in real time from the vehicle to the DiLoc server.

DiLoc | Sync

DiLoc | Sync is software for document distribution and communication between the IT systems of the dispatching department of an EVU or personnel service provider and the mobile staff (e.g. train drivers , customer advisors ). With this application, information is transferred from the headquarters to the end devices (tablets, notebooks, smartphones) of the staff via the Internet.

History / development

The development of DiLoc began in October 2007. The aim was to support the DB Netz AG interface "External Distributor" in order to make the software usable for small RUs that operate on the DB Netze routes. The integration into the IT systems of the EVU is guaranteed by the fact that the software is web-based. The software can be operated locally in the EVU's network or as a cloud solution by CN-Consult GmbH. In order to make the localization completely usable on non-DB routes and across Europe for cross-border passenger and freight traffic, there is a GPS interface for positioning via satellite.

In 2008 the software was nominated for the Hessian Innovation Award and in 2010 it received the IT Innovation Award.

Since 2009 there has been an interface to the “Iltis” control systems from Siemens and to BBR Verkehrstechnik GmbH.

DiLoc | Sync has been developed since autumn 2009 and has been in productive operation since 2010.

DiLoc | OnBoard has been in productive use since 2016.

System requirements

A standard PC with Internet access is required on the client side. A current web browser is required to access the management interface of DiLoc | Motion and DiLoc | Sync .
