Project
The LDZ "Leistungsdaten Zugfahrt" application was designed to implement a billing logic that reflects the actual usage of the railway infrastructure and provides customers with invoices with clearly itemized travel records. In addition, this project also served a more general and very far-reaching purpose: the implementation of a cross-corporate architectural style. In addition to allowing for easier Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) including vendor and customer system interfacing, the objectives of such a style comprise shorter time-to-deployment, increased system quality and future-safe development of easy-to-maintain component infrastructures.
