A Legacy of Innovation

For more than 30 years, Zelra has collaborated with Adelaide University to develop the Energymiser algorithm at the core of our Driver Advisory System (DAS) and Connected Driver Advisory System (C-DAS). This partnership combines academic rigor with industry expertise to enhance train performance globally.
Professor Peter Pudney

Cutting-edge research in train performance

Led by Professor Peter Pudney, Adelaide University’s Scheduling and Control Group collaborates with Zelra’s R&D team to develop physics-based solutions using optimal speed profile methodologies. This research enables our DAS to consider a broader set of variables, outperforming basic systems.

Recognised excellence

Our collaborative efforts have earned prestigious accolades, including the Australian Export Award, Premier’s NSW Export Award, and the Australian Rail Industry Award. In 2023, the Australian Research Council granted new funding to support our ongoing innovative collaboration.
