Network Rail Intelligent Scheme Plans
ISP-Sketch and ISP-Scheme are part of Network Rail's STAMP (Signalling Tools and Methods Programme) toolset. External rail contractors will be able use the tools to:
ISP-Scheme- Build geographic layouts from data collected from train-borne survey equipment
- Instantly generate height profiles.
- View asset data and take measurements.
- Click on assets to view photographs.
- Change scales or extents and instantly regenerate layout.
- Transform geographic layout to straight line format.
- Import into PLANS software for further development.
- Perform cost, signal spacing and safety analysis.
- Build options and stage-works into a single sketch.
- Carry out TPWS calculations.
- Validate sketches against defined rules.
