Mapping the Future of Rail Transport

Nineteen years with twelve years dedicated to rail transport

Omega Analytics was the first to introduce digital elevation models (DEM) for hydrological studies in railway bridge design. The processing of DEMs in a Geographic Information System (GIS) to generate river catchment area plans at bridge sites has successfully replaced earlier cumbersome and error-prone manual methods based on hard copy topographic maps. This technique, pioneered by us, is now the recommended methodology of Research and Design Standards Organization (RDSO) of the Indian Railways.
We extended this expertise in terrain models and GIS to railway route selection and alignment design of new and doubling line projects. Our proposals for complex rail alignments (Castle Rock – Kulem, Nanjangud – Nilambur and Missamari – Tawang) in the rugged and heavily forested terrain of the Western Ghats and Eastern Himalayas which satisfied highly restrictive engineering constraints of gradients and curvatures have been widely acknowledged as being path breaking.
It demonstrated the enormous advantages, from both efficiency and effectiveness perspectives, of employing digital data and computational geometry methods in automated route planning over traditional civil engineering survey methods in technical feasibility studies. We have successfully completed dozens of studies using this approach for Indian Railways across the country. This earned Omega Analytics the Dept. of Science & Technology (GoI) award for innovation and entrepreneurship in the Economic Times Power of Ideas contest. Our more recent projects employ high resolution drone images for refining initial alignment designs and obtaining accurate earthwork quantity estimates.
New initiatives include design and development of software products that seek to reduce time and cost overruns during construction of linear transport infrastructure projects by facilitating use of engineering data standards, project and document management and collaboration tools.
