Train tracking Conflict detection and resolution Track diagram Incident management Customer information. Apart from monitoring rail traffic, our integrated control systems take care of the monitoring and control of technical installations in stations, thus reducing considerably the number of staff needed for these tasks. Once a schedule plan is in place, the operator can allocate appropriate crews and equipment, and ensure that elements such as empty stock workings and crew operating agreements have been addressed. The integrated database at the heart of our service planning tools is mirrored in the service management equivalent, ResourceManager . The schedules held in ResourceManager form the baseline against which last minute changes can be made and actual operations monitored.
Monitoring is based on automated tracking data or from manual reporting.
All possible situations can be run through and practised using the simulator. It analyses, links and distributes this information to the sites where it is needed. Train numbers, coach numbers, terminus stations, intermediate stops, route, speed and general information are also displayed. The advanced degree of automation results in minimal staff requirements. Concentrating all monitoring and central functions at one site ensures cost-effective railway operations.
