Until now, factual information on graffiti-related crimes (e.g. images and intelligence in Excel tables) has been stored locally on various computers by the persons responsible for the information. Some of the intelligence stored in the DB Corporate Security Incidence Database (EDK) is incomplete (no images) and information is lost due to a lack of linkage in the database.

A forensic graffiti database provides a possible solution. A special tool is used to analyse images of graffiti and compare handwriting samples, looking for similarities that could help to identify the perpetrators.

Advantages:

• Standardised, Group-wide documentation including image data, uniform situational assessment and supra-regional (national/international) integration and monitoring
• Central storage and improved structure to facilitate analysis
• Matching of similarities between handwriting samples in conjunction with factual information
• Efficient planning of preventive measures (staff, technology, organisation), situation-based control of anti-graffiti measures
• Reduced incident frequency and minimisation of costs (cleaning, downtime, penalty clauses and so on), improved public Image

Many apps and application systems at DB display maps. Map services are commonly used for the background map and are very expensive. OpenStreetMap@BusinessHub offers an alternative: a powerful, high-quality, permanently up-to-date map service for OpenStreetMap maps.

OpenStreetMap@BusinessHub is provided on the Amazon Web Services infrastructure. OpenStreetMap is used as the source for the map data, which is updated continuously.

The map service is available as an API via BusinessHub, in capped volume packages for a fixed price, and can be ordered quickly and easily with just a few clicks. It complies with data protection regulations and is GDPR-ready out of the box.
 

The advantages of OpenStreetMap@BusinessHub:

• Easy to order
• Competitive prices
• High-quality, up-to-date maps
• DB-specific map styles
• Service level agreement guarantee
• Compliance with GDPR and corporate identity/corporate design specifications

The solution for effortless rental of premises in and around the station. Exploit unused space quickly and profitably.

Currently, bridges are inspected visually by specially commissioned expert assessors on site. In future, the new "Bridge inspector" service will provide state-of-the-art support to inspectors by recording, visualising and automatically synchronising data on the condition of the structure. This eliminates the need for large-scale inspection equipment, saving time and money. 

The components of the bridge inspector:

• Recording
  Drones provide high-quality photo and video images of the bridge, depicting its entire surface.
• Analysis
  The photographic and video material is analysed using artificial intelligence specialised in identifying bridge damage, and any damage is identified and classified completely automatically.
• Visualisation
  The damage is located on a 3D model that can be displayed on a PC or mobile device. You can click directly on the images of damage and add more detailed information.
• Damage monitoring
  Identified damage is stored for subsequent tracking and the progression of the damage is depicted visually in the 3D model.

In future, it will also be possible to perform live detection and damage monitoring on a tablet during the drone inspection flight. 
 

The advantages of the bridge inspector:

• One stop shop: drone deployment including coordination, approvals, analysis and visualisation
• Shortening/avoidance of bridge closures
• Digitalisation of the infrastructure
• More efficient use of resources
• Cost savings through fast, flexible inspection

Companion displays digital information in a completely new way: when viewed through your smartphone, the digital information is integrated into the natural environment and becomes visible and tangible. Companion is a personal visual assistant that offers you a comprehensive view of the world, whether in the form of passenger information on the platform, IoT data at the depot or a 3D model on your desktop.

Companion uses augmented reality to display selected information in the live camera image of your smartphone. This allows you to access the information directly without having to perform time-consuming searches. Because the existing infrastructure does not need to be modified in any way, the investment costs are low.

The advantages of Companion:

• Extensive coverage thanks to a widely used technical platform
• Intuitive to use – no technical expertise is required
• Existing information is consolidated
• Investment costs are kept low by using the existing infrastructure
