FleetManager
Real-time fleet management software that adapts to disruptions and keeps your railway running.
FleetManager
From Perfect Plans to Real-World Operations
The Challenge:
No matter how well you plan, reality intervenes. Rolling stock failures, infrastructure problems, unexpected demand and weather disruptions mean your carefully crafted timetable face constant challenges. Controllers need to make rapid decisions about service adjustments, rolling stock substitutions, often with incomplete information and under significant time pressure.
Traditional systems show you what was planned, not what’s actually happening. Spreadsheets and paper-based processes can’t keep pace with dynamic operational situations. By the time you’ve assessed the impact of one disruption, three more have occurred.
The Solution:
FleetManager provides real-time visibility of your entire operation with tools to manage disruptions as they happen. See actual train positions and rolling stock status. Make informed decisions about service adjustments with immediate impact assessment.
Three Core Capabilities:
Real-Time Operational Visibility
Live view of train positions and rolling stock status. See what’s actually happening across your network, not just what was planned.
Disruption Management Tools
Quickly assess options when services are disrupted. Model rolling stock substitutions and service adjustments with instant validation.
Dynamic Resource Allocation
Redeploy rolling stock in response to operational needs. Ensure changes comply with operational constraints.
How It Works
Operational Control
Tailored to Your Railway
View real-time train positions, rolling stock status with automatic alerts for delays and resource issues. When disruptions occur, the system highlights impacted services and identifies affected rolling stock. Evaluate alternative solutions with automatic validation against operational constraints, then implement changes with updates flowing to crew, drivers and passenger information systems.
Monitor
Operations
View real-time train positions, rolling stock status across your network with live updates from operational systems. Automatic alerts notify controllers of delays, conflicts or resource issues as they emerge, ensuring nothing slips through unnoticed.
Identify
Issues
When disruptions occur, the system highlights impacted services and identifies affected rolling stock automatically. Visual indicators show the extent and severity of the problem, helping controllers prioritise their response based on passenger impact and operational urgency.
Assess
Options
Evaluate alternative solutions including service cancellations and rolling stock substitutions with instant impact assessment. The system validates each option against operational constraints, safety rules and union agreements, showing you viable choices rather than every theoretical possibility.
Implement
Changes
Make informed decisions and implement changes with minimum clicks, and updates flowing automatically to downstream systems, receiving trusted information that can be depended upon to run a railway. The system maintains a complete audit trail of all operational decisions and changes for post-incident review and continuous improvement.
Benefits & Integration
Operational Management
That Delivers Results
Your strategic plans feed into day-of-operations management. FleetManager works from the train timetable and vehicle rosters created by our planning tools, showing deviations from plan and helping you manage the gap between strategy and reality. Changes made during operations inform future planning, creating a continuous improvement cycle.
Faster Response to Disruptions
Reduce the time from incident to resolution. Real-time visibility and decision support tools help controllers assess situations and implement solutions in minutes rather than hours.
Improved Service Reliability
Better disruption management means reduced delay propagation and faster service recovery. Maintain more services during challenging operational conditions.
Enhanced Safety & Compliance
Automated validation ensures all operational changes maintain safety standards and comply with union agreements, even under pressure during major disruptions.
Better Passenger Communication
Automatic updates to passenger information systems mean customers receive timely, accurate information about service changes and alternative travel options.
