Gotham City Integrated Demonstrator

The Gotham City demonstrator does not pretend to show either leading-edge IT architectures or innovative KPIs, but simply to address one of the most urgent needs regarding digitalisation, meaning the fact that the “wealth of data and information on the status of assets and traffic has varying levels of quality and is distributed over a wide range of information systems and differing standards that restrict data access and exploitation”.

​

Therefore, the objective of this demonstration is twofold:

• on the one hand, it demonstrates, by integrating data using a Conceptual Data Model, that it is possible to share on a common standardized platform assets’ data distributed over a wide range of information systems and differing standards

• on the other hand, it highlights the importance of digitalisation by showing that, on the basis of data purely collected for asset management purposes, it is possible to derive key information (KPIs) to be exploited by other railway services and stakeholders, such as the Train Management System or other railway undertakings.
