Resolves scheduling conflicts at junctions in real-time to prevent delays.
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.
Less heavy braking and acceleration reduces wear and tear, extending the life of your rail assets and making maintenance schedules more predictable.
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.
Tracks trains approaching a junction, determining achievable arrival times.
Assigns junction occupancy intervals based on priority rules and real-time data.
Calculates revised arrival times and sends updates to DAS equipped trains.
Trains adjust speed and driving modes to align with optimised schedule, ensuring smooth passage through junctionsWhy .
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.
