RUBI's database of Railway-Projects in Switzerland
The database aggregates data from various sources and allows for detailed analysis. It offers you intelligence about futures projects and their location. Using those results you get a solid foundation for your predictions including to-be-opened tenders, projected resource requirements and expected rail-related projects.
Furthermore, we monitor the development of various buzzwords such as BIM, maintenance, reconstruction, catenary, etc. in different areas as well as the latest maintenance data of various track sections for forecasts of future railroad projects.

Das dunklere Pink repräsentiert Projekte aus SIMAP, das hellere Projekte aus den PGVs.
Auswertungstabelle
In dieser Tabelle werden alle SIMAP Zuschläge seit dem 1. Januar 2021 aufsummiert.
Overview Technologies
Via SIMAP's SOAP API we can obtain any project and tender data. We have various filters available at their endpoint as well as our custom-made ones.
From the XML data we extract relevant information and write it to our local Neo4j graph database. We can thus analyze a wide variety of links and relationships: Geographically, systematically and across the board.
The insights gained in this way are made available to you via the Django framework from our web server directly on the Internet. This allows us to quickly create professional dashboards for your desired insights.
On the leaflet map, the project distribution over all operating points in Switzerland can be viewed for different time periods.
Graph database
In a Neo4j database, we mapped the route network of Switzerland as a graph with operating points and network segments.
These have geographical information via coordinates/routes which are enriched with project data from SIMAP and the PGVs.
They can be read out via Python in the Django frontend. Thus, live dashboards with the latest relevant awards and tenders can be created and automatic extracts/notifications can be set up.
Data model
The data model is extremely flexible and becomes more sophisticated with each new use case, which in turn allows more opportunities to gain intelligence from the model.
New data sources are incorporated into the existing model to increase data density and improve the quality of our conclusions.
Visualization
Shown here is a leaflet map with a background from Swiss-Topo for geographic assessment of the latest projects.
Other evaluation options include statistics on competitors, intelligent suggestions for search terms and development analysis.
CI/CD-Pipeline
Die CI/CD-Pipeline wird durch einen Beitrag von Quellcode (Commit) ins Versionsverwaltungssystem Git ausgelöst. Die folgenden Schritte werden serverseitig automatisiert durchgeführt:
COMMIT --> BUILD --> TEST --> DEPLOY
Build: Abrufen Bibliotheken Dritter als Grundlage, Bau der Software aus dem Quellcode
Test: Testen der Software mittels im Quellcode vordefinierter Tests
Deploy: Aufspielen der Software auf ein Test- oder Produktivsystem
Sämtliche Arbeitsschritte werden protokolliert und können zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt nachvollzogen werden. Dieser Automatisierungsgrad ermöglicht die Umsetzung von Entwicklungsschritten und Änderungen in hoher Frequenz und Qualität.
