More efficient: Central monitoring and control of technical installations
With centralised monitoring and remote control of all technical installations in stations the number of staff normally required for station operations can be lowered substantially. At the same time automation of numerous tasks (e.g. active train tracking, automatic route setting, triggering of train destination displays, monitoring of connections, train dispatching by drivers, automatic control of lighting installations, surveillance of installations etc.) contributes further to reducing operating costs.
United: Graphic display of the operational situation and automated routine processes
Operating staff are kept constantly informed about the current operational situation by various, problem-oriented, graphic overviews. This automation of routine processes relieves the burden on staff. Irregularities are automatically reported by integrated alarm functions enabling operators to concentrate fully on conflict solution and optimising operations. Via the intuitive and convenient user interface any necessary manual input can be performed swiftly and accurately.
Improved: Service, Customer Information and Safety
Funkwerk IT’s control systems lead to a considerable improvement in service by ensuring safe and punctual train operations. This is even further enhanced by the passenger information functions offered by these systems.
They can be used to control train destination and information displays as well as trigger announcements over the public address system fully automatically. These functions can be programmed on the basis of timetable data or the complete train tracking data in any existing system environment. In special situations, e.g. extra trains, quick and easy manual triggering is possible via the operating interface.
Co-ordinated connections, including those with other modes of transport, increase convenience for travellers. The system monitors train movements to make sure that connections can take place and give staff (train and bus drivers, interlocking staff, train dispatchers) the appropriate instructions. Fully integrated CCTV monitoring ensures problem-free surveillance of passenger traffic by control centres. Especially during the evening and night this provides a significant improvement in passenger security without necessitating additional staff.
Control centre operators can communicate with platforms via the integrated audio installations, and passengers can speak to the control centre at all times via emergency call points. The integrated emergency stop device is a further important element in increased safety for passengers. Trains can be stopped by the control centre in the event that passengers are in danger, e.g. when boarding or leaving a train.
Evaluated: Analysis and Statistics
All traffic and process data are available for post-operations analysis. In this way frequent causes of delays can be investigated, weak points detected and effective improvements in planning introduced. The process data from the control systems can be easily linked with other company data via modern database interfaces. This enables rail companies to evaluate various aspects of their operations, for instance, ascertain the life-cycle costs for certain types of equipment, target and eliminate frequent faults, optimise maintenance cycles and match resources as closely as possible to actual requirements.
