IFAST
INFRABEL's Field Automated Shelter Testing
CLIENT: INFRABEL, TUC RAIL and SNCB, as AKKA Consultant
DESCRIPTION
The IFAST application, part of the global Testing Tools Shelter (TTS) project, aims at assisting the testing of the PLP modules in the shelter in a digital semi-automatic manner.
Previously, the process was done by manually filling test sheets (NT22).
Thanks to the IFAST project, the testing and filling of the NT22 can now be done digitally, through the user interface of the IFAST-GUI on a tablet device. It takes as input an IFAST project file produced by the IFAST-Prep tool and gives as an output the filled in NT22 sheets.
The IFAST poject thus greatly eases and accelerates the process of PLP shelter testing. It also ensures no tests are forgotten and that the testing results are valid.
ROLE
As part of the development team, I was mostly responsible for the implementation of the sheet management system, allowing to display and edit the sheets in the application, as well as being able to print them in a format identical to the original paper forms.
I was also in charge of developing most of the UI for the tablet application.
