MBDD-Solutions

Engineering specialised in railway data.

We design solutions that turn sensor data and infrastructure references into railway information that teams can understand, review and use.

Sensor data Railway network topology Auditable results
Scattered GNSS observations converge into a qualified railway journey. The train is located by line, track and kilometre point, with distances to beacons, the signal, the level crossing and the station.
The train placed back in its railway environment. Line, track, kilometre point and distances measured along the journey provide a shared reference for the surrounding assets.

Our role

Make train data usable in the language of the railway.

A coordinate or measurement is not always enough to answer a railway question. We turn sensor measurements into concrete railway information: line, track, kilometre point and infrastructure context.

Every conclusion remains accompanied by its evidence, reservations and the points still requiring review.
A train fitted with a GNSS antenna, an inertial sensor and a progression sensor passes over a beacon installed between the rails.
From trainborne sensors to trackside assets. GNSS, inertial data, progression signals and beacons can help place observations in their railway context.

Location and trainborne signals

Qualify position, time and progression together, including when signals are imperfect or incomplete.

Infrastructure references and railway network topology

Associate measurements with lines, tracks, kilometre points and operational assets in a versioned reference.

Evidence and integration

Produce explainable results, visible limits and deliverables that operational teams or information systems can use.

Experience and milestones

Know-how built through real railway projects.

MBDD-Solutions has developed its trainborne location work into a complete product for qualifying railway journeys. This continuity brings together sensor data, network topology, operational references and auditable evidence.

How we work

Engineering that makes every result explainable.

A sound railway result depends on readable evidence, a clear scope and outputs that teams can use directly.

Support every conclusion

The data, its coverage and the reference connect every result to verifiable elements.

Use railway terminology

Results are delivered as journeys, lines, tracks, kilometre points, assets and sections requiring review.

Prepare for real-world use

Outputs are designed to be reviewed, compared, replayed and integrated into team tools.

The product

MBDD Rail is a software engine for interpreting railway data.

It compares sensor observations with infrastructure references to produce directly usable railway information: journey, line, track, kilometre point and infrastructure context.

Observations from a train are not always enough to identify the track actually travelled without ambiguity. Yards, junctions, tunnels or degraded signals can make several journeys compatible with the same measurements.

A directly usable view. Journeys, kilometre points, stations and operational objects remain synchronised in the deliverable.
