Case Study: Beijing Traffic Control Center achieves unified real-time rail monitoring and 30% engineering cost savings with Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions

Beijing Traffic Control Center - Customer Case Study

Beijing Traffic Control Center (BTCC) faced the challenge of monitoring and coordinating a vast, multi-line rail network in a city of over 18 million people, requiring real-time integration of SCADA, CCTV, passenger information, decision support and incident-evaluation systems—an urgent need ahead of the 2008 Summer Olympics. Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions addressed this by deploying ICONICS GraphWorX32, part of the GENESIS32 HMI/SCADA suite, across 50 networked operator stations to provide a unified user interface for the control center.

Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions implemented GraphWorX32 with OPC/XML integrations, linking Operational Control Centers, live CCTV feeds, passenger information and a Decision Support Database so operators can share rail data, video and reports and trigger automatic or semi-automatic incident plans. The rollout produced measurable impact: a reported 30% savings on engineering-related costs, faster emergency communications, and on-time delivery of the integrated system prior to the 2008 Olympics, while enabling scalable, real-time operations across the BTCC network.
