Design of an Information Management System for Urban Rail Transit Depots

Manual data processing and frequent transmission are main factors that affect production inefficiency in urban rail transit depots. Therefore, it is important to establish a comprehensive information management system to address such concerns. This paper attempts to analyze both the demands of sharing information amongst departments and the requirements of an ideal system designed for doing this. Based on that, the overall architecture of the system is proposed, including five aspects: information acquisition layer, data layer, processing layer, application layer and presentation, respectively. Furthermore, seven functional modules of the system in accordance with the method to share and transfer information among departments are developed in detail. With compendious design, this proposed system meets most department requirements and contributes to information transferring and sharing in real time.
