“World View on Signalling” for the new control centre at Cologne
In September 2014, Kölner Verkehrs- Betriebe AG completed the modernisation of their control centre with the installation of an innovative 84 square metre multimedia screen. This “world view” depicts the whole Cologne public transport network with all important status messages. Detailed views can be overlaid. The required data from signalling and passenger information systems are forwarded directly or via data link units to a central converter unit. Two visualisation units generate the required displays. Universal operator consoles allow to monitor and to control the world view.
