Enhance network efficiency

Junction Scheduler is a module of the Unify platform that provides advanced rail traffic management. By automatically re-planning train movements through junctions in real-time, it minimises delays and optimises energy use, ensuring smoother and more efficient operations across your network.

Improved punctuality

Resolves scheduling conflicts at junctions in real-time to prevent delays.

Energy efficiency

Avoiding red signals and coasting through requires less heavy braking and accelerating. Optimal driving reduces fuel consumption, making a significant contribution to your bottom line when energy use can be half of a locomotive's lifetime operating cost.

Reduced wear and tear

Less heavy braking and acceleration reduces wear and tear, extending the life of your rail assets and making maintenance schedules more predictable.

conflict resolution
Conflict detection and resolution

Junction Scheduler automatically re-plans train movements through junctions to minimise delays at an individual junction, or a network of junctions. It does this by resolving conflicts automatically in real-time, while also considering energy use – important for congested rail networks.

How Junction Scheduler operates

1
Monitoring

Tracks trains approaching a junction, determining achievable arrival times.

2
Allocation

Assigns junction occupancy intervals based on priority rules and real-time data.

3
Adjustment

Calculates revised arrival times and sends updates to DAS equipped trains.

4
Execution

Trains adjust speed and driving modes to align with optimised schedule, ensuring smooth passage through junctionsWhy .

Why choose Junction scheduler

Junction scheduler revolutionises rail operations by reducing delays, improving punctuality, and optimising energy use at complex junctions. By resolving conflicts in real-time and re-planning train movements efficiently, the system minimises braking and stoppages, reducing wear and tear on rolling stock. It also enhances safety by maintaining optimal train spacing and generates precise data for performance analysis, driving continuous improvements across the network.
