ESTONIAN RAILWAYS
Estonian Railways ’ Partner Ecosystem
Hexagon Hexagon is Estonian Railways ’ major partner for the geospatial data management of assets and infrastructure .
“ We signed a contract with them in 2020 ,” says Zaitsev . “ Hexagon provides a platform for the development of the Geographic Information System ( GIS ). Within the contract , they are constantly developing and maintaining the system .
“ We have big plans with Hexagon , because the GIS is a part of our Global Asset Management strategy . The goal is to integrate the asset management register with GIS to represent the exact location of all assets on the map so that all our field workers , technicians , and contractors can get all necessary information and attributes of assets just by choosing it on the map . Also , we actively use GIS in construction planning .
“ Hexagon also offers a wide range of capabilities beyond geospatial data management – from sensor management to reality capturing – multidimensional visualisation , and all necessary technologies – from sensors for data acquisition to AI for converting data into information – with a solid geospatial background and knowledge suitable for the transportation sector .
“ So , we see that , in the future , Hexagon could play a role in the strategic alignment with Estonian Railways to increase operational excellence .”
Siemens CCS In the Major CCS ( Command-Control Systems ) Project , Estonian Railways ’ infrastructure lines 1-5 ( which are still equipped with old relay interlockings ) will be replaced with dual microprocessorbased SIL 4 interlockings . Siemens designs ,
supplies , installs , tests , and commissions the interlocking system ’ s turnkey solution , with interfaces to neighbouring lines .
The Scope of Supply includes the interlocking of software and hardware together with a CTC / LOP system . Siemens also supplies all needed hardware for main and shunting signals , including LED units for signals .
