Optimise every journey

Zelra designs, delivers, and supports the Driver Advisory System (DAS) used by train operators worldwide. Our DAS solution is proven to radically improve key outcomes for passenger, freight, and heavy haul rail businesses.

This rail-specific technology supports safer, energy efficient journeys by delivering in-cab driver decision support with speed management and real time re-routing across your network. The enhanced situational awareness helps drivers reduce overspeeds, SPADs, and station overruns.

I will be going to Montparnasse to see the highly innovative system that SNCF and RATP have put in place for what we call eco-driving. Eco-driving is the solution, saving energy at the same average speed.

Driver Advisory System (DAS)

The connected DAS, where you integrate the onboard systems back to the back end of train control, can create a potential opportunity to tie those things together to take it to the next level.

Connected Driver Advisory System (C-DAS)

Zelra was integral to modernising our WFM, rostering, and payroll. We now have proactive fatigue management, excellent transparency across all user groups, and detailed performance reporting.

Workforce Management (WFM)

Coasting a 1,500 tonnes train for 15 kms was actually a pretty cool thing, instead of constantly being on the power then on the brake. If you follow DAS advice, you’re effectively moving the train for free for that 15 kms.

Agents already optimise driving in order to reduce energy expenditure but the software makes it possible to go even further in this direction.

Deploying DAS is your first step towards a connected network

Zelra's DAS is a single platform that operates in two modes. Standalone DAS gives your drivers in-cab speed and timing guidance from day one. Connected DAS (C-DAS) follows incrementally, route by route, as your infrastructure for network integration becomes available.
