What Is WDI
The aim of WDI (Web Data Interface) is to offer to RUs having low or small IT facilities a user-friendly web interface to operate electronic message exchange with RailData railway undertakings.
WDI Functions
TRAIN PRE-ADVICE
WDI enables to capture data for the Train composition pre-advice message for the collaborating railway undertaking, which will take over the train. When completed, the tool sends out so called Hermes 30 message to the partner RU. In opposite direction, WDI can receive H30 messages from RU partners, who are going to hand over a train. It makes the data available for the WDI user.
WAGON STATUS
WDI also allows capture wagon status information (e.g. arrival, departure or delivered), which is then sent to the ISR application. This way, tracking of wagons is also possible at first/last mile operators.
How It Works
WDI is web based tool with forms to capture train, wagon and consignment information, supported with reference data, logical checks and other features to ease the data input. Once all data is entered, the tool creates H30 message and sends it to selected RU partner.
Partner RUs can also send H30 messages into the WDI and the WDI User can see the train data on the web, with option to print or download the data for internal use.
The data once captured or received for a train are stored and can be reused also for a wagon monitoring. Wagon Status Messages can be initiated for all wagons in train set, as well for single wagons.
