This project represents an Intelligent Shunting Solution developed for Strukton Rail, with the objective of transforming marshalling yard operations by means of sensor-based monitoring. Strukton has recently developed sensors that can detect wheel passages and switch positions. While these sensors provide raw data, there was a need for an integrated system that would translate said data into a visualization environment. This project answers that need by creating a web application that not only shows wagon movement and switch positions, but also provides historical playback, hazard notification, and sensor health monitoring.
The CS Design Project module is one of the two final modules of the Bachelor. In the design component of this module, students show that they master the entire design trajectory, from the first informal specification of requirements by a client to the delivery and presentation of a well-documented working product. Projects are submitted by clients from either inside or outside the University. Students perform the project in groups of 3-5 students under the supervision of a teacher from the Department of Computer Science. The supervisor is also the one who assesses the process and products of the group. Project deliverables include a project proposal, a design report, a presentation and a poster.
