Rail Transport

The demands and expectations for rail services have never been greater. So imagine a system where you can improve performance. At less cost. Using your assets in the most effective way possible, across your network. Making it easier and more enjoyable for your passengers to travel. With a happier workforce who have the tools they need to do their jobs. And all the while reaching the highest standards of safety and security.
 
We are using our experience across all modes of transport to create the intelligent transport schemes that enable trains to run more efficiently and to capture greater market share, helping the environment. We are doing so with:

Smart travel – end-to-end solutions that ease passenger journeys. At the start there's easier journey planning. Solutions which focus on Passenger relationship management and loyalty schemes.  Smart ticketing, from smart cards like Scotcard!!!to near-field communications systems, gets people on board faster. Real-time travel information keeps passengers better informed. And you have greater insight into travel patterns and volumes to simplify  forecasting.

Smart logistics – keep goods and information moving around your rail networks. You can track trains and freight, in real-time. And your people have the mobile tools they need to work comfortably on the move. So they work more productively and you can plan more effectively – whether it's train schedules or maintenance programmes.

Infrastructure charging for rail operators – tracking who is using the rail network and when makes it possible to more accurately charge train operators. Charges can vary according to the travelling time and the cost to the infrastructure. It is the fairest method of charging where there are a number of independent train operators – like Network Rail in the UK. The system allows them to make the best use of the infrastructure they have. Plus they can maximize their revenues as they know who to charge – and how much.
