Your project:

At present:

Televic Rail has a LiveCom Suite Wayside webpage for the configuration of passenger information system across a fleet of trains. We see all the input data (e.g. playlists and their triggers) that are configured in a dossier. However to see the actual output (trip-based event triggers and outputs based on that) we require a physical test bench with Displays PCUs etc.

Proposal:

In this newly created web-based simulator (like an online game) the user would see a virtual internal architecture of a drivers cabin in the train as well as LiveDIS LED-Displays internal and external loudspeakers and Passenger Communicaiton Units (Number of units and types would be configurable). This simulator allows a user to play with it and verify the programmed operation. Start a trip on the virtual train and simulate it to see the automatic outputs play a special information trigger a PCU and see the output in the virtual drivers cabin and on the PCU. Also some additional features such as triggering an emergency brake halts the train immediately and showcases the output on displays drivers cabin according to the LiveCom Suite configuraiton. There would be a dedicated LiveCom Suite Wayside Webpage for this simulator which has all the available functions a user can test and change according to their wish.

Benefit:

This allows Televic Rail to showcase this game during our Expos customer demos presentations where our customer can play with the LiveCom Suite configuration and see the output via our virtual train. Also such a simulator game would be a more interesting way to train customers allowing a user to have hands-on experience of our product.
