Managing 3,000km Rail Assets23/06/2009 |

| SBB will implement Intergraph next-generation infrastructure management technology to geospatially capture and manage assets for the Swiss railway, which supports the transport of 9,000 trains per day and 306 million passengers a year. With assets including more than 3,000 kilometres of rail, 5,200 buildings and 28,000 employees, the project will result in the largest geographic information system (GIS) in the country. | ||

Keeping track of and up-to-date on every asset that makes up such an extensive transportation network is a challenging proposition, according to SBB. The availability of current data that enables users to access key information at the right time, in the right form and through the appropriate medium is becoming increasingly crucial for the operation of the railway.
SBB sought a solution built on an open architecture that would enable the Swiss railway to comply with industry standards, easily integrate data with its Oracle platform and allow for simple access to geographic information across the enterprise. After evaluating multiple solutions, SBB determined Intergraph G/Technology was best suited to meet its requirements.
Intergraph G/Technology supports universal standards such as the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standard. The technology leverages the power of Oracle's database capabilities, and geographic data from the system can be seamlessly utilized across a wide variety of applications for flexible access to spatial information. G/Technology will be used by SBB to build an inventory for all spatial and property-related assets concerning the construction, planning, maintenance, renovation and operation of the Swiss rail infrastructure.

3D Scanning of Historic Sugar Factories |
|
The Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies at the University of South Florida, USA, recently worked with the Florida Park Service on a project to document the remains of several historic sugar-mill sites in the State Parks to create as-builts to be used in preservation and conservation of these resources. The FARO LS 880, along with GPS and total station georeferencing and colour imaging, was used on these projects.
