Forecast Machine: AI is considered to improve travel information on train

Deutsche Bahn (DB) wants to improve the quality of travel information in all playing points like DB navigator, monitors monitor and advertisements in trains at train stations. For example, long transportation in long transportation should be communicated in long transportation for a long time at least 60 minutes. In the case of unspecified holding, the SPPAL is expected to decrease. Railways wants to update this information every two minutes.

Overall, the forecast for the arrival and departure of trains should be more accurate as part of the S3 renewal program, Deniella Gird Tom Markoten, director of digitization and technology in DB AG. According to him, information for travelers becomes more reliable, consistent, understandable, intuitive “and thus leading”. Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays an important role. Railways had built about 400 million data points a day by the Railways, Markoten explained. It makes around 150 million forecasts for over 20,000 trips in regional and long distance transport every day.

According to the manager, DB uses pattern recognition, machine learning, and re -faction learning for these predictions. This “encouraging” method mimics the learning process, with which people achieve targets through experiments and errors. The AI ​​system that is created from 2018, which is in the sense of many open libraries and algorithms Openeril association To develop open source software projects in the railway sector, see, for example, train processes were compared to real visits and what looks like customer and operating timetables. In addition, the actual GPS-hestzeitdads will also come from trains as well as conclusions at the amount of regular travel.

Data platform “single point of truth”

The resulting forecast machine already calculates the resulting delay in the form of 20 minutes for well -construction sites such as a current twist between Hamburg and the nail. For example, if something happens on the broad path of Berlin, the system attacks for example, at one and ten minutes. But if there is also a soft disorder, the machine “reaches its limits”, Markoten accepted. In addition, DB Infrastructure Company Infrague and Regional Rail Traffic Companies can now manually enter their more detailed forecast in the system in consultation with the engine guide responsible. The machine is now working “very well, very well”.

As a “fuel for AI”, DB always combines new data sources such as use notice. They are now happening in real time per car so that passengers can place themselves on platforms. The objective is to display information in the same quality and time on all output channels. For this, the Railways created a general data platform (“single point of truth”). However, there is still technical delay that can make a few seconds in the station monitor and a while for a sailor. From the early 1990s, in the oldest ICES, technology for real -time advertisements is missing.

Use monitor

Nationwide, Railways also installed more than 1650 modern and better solved monitors on platforms for about 50 million euros from federal government, federal states and DB. Both of these are so -small dynamic font indicators (DSA), which are used at small train stations, as well as large train infomoniters (ZIM) at medium and large train stations. For example, at Berlin’s main train station, passengers can now see advertisements divided on six 200 -inch monitor. “Future passenger information” comes here and other major nodes (Iris+) To use, in which similar changes are stored. The forecast accuracy of track changes with tensile and neck failures should be the latest from 74 to 80 percent from 2027.

German ticket paid better attention to navigator

The navigator, who was described as “Lighthouse” with more than 80 million downloads at Stephanie Burke, DB Furnevarkehar, is waiting for about 35 million customer accounts and 160 million travel information per month, waiting for two new works from March. In connection observation, only the connection can be displayed through a filter that can be used with a German ticket. In the case of ticket booking with long -long trains, no local transport stocks are calculated. The “travel preview” function is now available on Smartwatch (iOS and Android).

Replacement traffic is now stored in the app with construction site information and interactive map. Along with two or three other companies, DB tested the transfer of data according to new standard open sales and distribution models to book foreign trips abroad (OSDMFrom the middle of the year, the Railways also wants to go live with “from outside” tickets. In the data protection app, the company writes great, so that it is looking at the complaints of the workers with digital courage for peace in peace.
