Track your position on the train

The new information systems were developed by Evoq implemented. The agency specializes in the development and implementation of brands. Among them are projects for successful information systems. For example, the agency has created long-distance trafimage maps for SBB. The project was implemented, for example, on Alstom's ETR 610, which runs in north-south traffic between Switzerland and Italy.

For orientation: The screen shows where the train is currently located. (Image: evoq) TrafimageThe name of the system is formed from the words "trafic" and "image". On the one hand, Trafimage provides an overview of the current position of the train within Switzerland or the neighboring countries. On the other hand, objects in the immediate vicinity such as rivers, lakes or mountains should also be displayed and named. For this reason, depending on the information system, two to three different zoom levels are provided, which are shown in alternation. In addition, topics and offers related to public transport appear.Technical challengeDepending on the technical conditions in the individual train types, the maps have more or less dynamic elements. The spectrum ranges from the simple overlaying of the background map with a position symbol to the highlighting of the stations called at in a particular train run and the visualization of the route traveled. Thus, the individual map sets must each be optimized to the capabilities of the individual systems.
