BNSF Railways Tracks Chart Generator

(2007-2009)

Aim of this project was to get information about railways tracks from GIS database, process them and draw tracks charts from them. These charts were printed and helped track maintenance engineers to navigate through the network of tracks.

We processed data stored in DB2 database, we exported them as XML files and processed through XSLT pipeline. Then we created a Visual [Basic.NET](http://Basic.NET) pipeline that cleaned and aligned those tracks. As the next step, we used CSP solver to produce final tracks order. In the last step, we generated interactive and printable PDF files.

Client: BNSF Railways, USA
