Managing Weather-Related Sensor Data
Interoperable integration of sensor data to improve the railway operation
52°North supported the Deutsche Bahn AG in setting up a framework for managing various weather-related sensor data. Important goals were the integration of sensor data from different sources into a central data repository. From there, the data is available for various applications, such as the integration into weather models and warning workflows in case of critical weather events.
The project involved on-site and virtual workshops with Deutsche Bahn to discuss requirements, solutions and implementations. The kick-off was an on-site workshop to understand the technical challenges and to introduce Deutsche Bahn staff to relevant technologies from the Geo-IT community. Different approaches for data modeling and implementation were discussed. Furthermore, we discussed and evaluated the use of the OGC SensorThings API standard. This included support for the implementation of first OGC SensorThings API-based data flows.
