Eurostar and other big rail companies has a problem with rescheduling after a disruption:
- £100k for refunds after a cancelation
- £50k in refunds after 1h delay
How do we currently manage and control this issue?
Solution — Real time maintance and disruption planner
- Everything is online. No more paper and pens!
- Intelligent system advising you if a train should go on examination or in service
- Real time tracking of mileages and last examination
- Fast rescheduling after disruption
How we built it
- Analysed a data pack from Eurostar
- Implemented the online planner
- Added some brains to our backend to suggest right trains for user
Challenges we ran into
- Big amount of constraints for the movement of trains
- Limitations of animations in CSS
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- User-friendly UX and UI for the task that was performed manually for ages
- Potential inpact if the app will be developed to the production stage
What we learned
- How a schedule for trains looks like :)
What's next for The Disruptors
- Add even more brains to the tool to understand more complex constraints
- Implement a Machine Learning algorithm to predict future disruptions
- Make the app live
