A Brief History of Data Traffic at DB - about the Big Bang and Black Holes
summary
Deutsche Bahn centralizes group data since 2020, spins up a Data Intelligence Center and ships 15 operational use cases tied to punctuality, capacity and construction planning. A 2021 data catalog and a data & AI strategy 2.0 shift focus to data-as-product; an AI factory scales teams and pipelines while a data mesh governs federated ownership. Key deployments: predictive construction-schedule planning, a live disposition decision‑support stream, and post‑trip anomaly analysis feeding a “digital brain” — all reported as production systems used to improve operations.
