Visual tools for managing Germany’s rail network (Nand)

More and more people travel by train in Germany. How can we combine machine learning and visual analytics methods to help manage the passenger loads?

Peak Spotting provides yield and capacity managers with rich visual tools to identify potential bottlenecks early on and react through price management, communications or logistic solutions.

Based on passenger load predictions from neural nets and random forest models, the web application integrates millions of datapoints over 100 days into the future, allowing to inspect the data on custom developed visual tools such as animated maps, stacked histograms, path-time-diagrams and powerful lists with miniature visualizations.

Special emphasis was put on providing actionable information and collaborative features, so that insights can be transformed immediately into improvements in planning and management.
