Rail networks data integration

Rail infrastructure managers and operators need asset health, timetable and energy data across interlockings, rolling stock and stations.

Example use case

An infrastructure manager combines point machine diagnostics from interlockings with EN 50463 energy data to target maintenance where failures correlate with high traffic.

Typical sources and transports

Interlocking diagnostic exports and EULYNX diagnostic interfaces, EN 50463 data collection services, DLMS/COSEM meters, EDI, BACnet/IP in stations, and planning system exports.

What the data means

Diagnostics carry asset identifiers from the infrastructure register; energy data has defined time intervals and train identity.

Prerequisites

Before connecting rail networks sources, prepare an inventory of systems and owners, interface documentation for each one, read-only credentials and approved network paths. Agree identifiers, units and time zones early, and name a person who can confirm values against the source during commissioning.

Limitations

Signalling systems are safety-critical and accessed only through approved diagnostic outputs. EULYNX interfaces are validated per supplier.

ALLINLET reads and normalises data; it does not control equipment.
