OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT

 

TravisMetro - Efficient control technology for local and regional transport

Today, public transport must increase passenger numbers with new mobility incentives and attractive service offerings. Only an intelligent operational management strategy with a high degree of automation in train traffic and stop management can achieve this goal. The TravisMetro operational control system, a solution for metropolitan areas and regions, enables efficient control of rail operations and integrated bundling of stop technology at the control level. 

 

The intelligent operations control system TravisMetro

TravisMetro, an intelligent operations control system for local and regional transport, combines  key advantages for optimized operations management in a single solution: 

Optimized train scheduling and stop control from a single source 

The TravisMetro control system brings together all information from current traffic events and connected stops for the operator at the control level. The uniform interface, tailored to the operator, thus offers maximum transparency and trouble-free operation across all workflows. The automation of standard processes significantly reduces the workload and allows operators to concentrate on resolving conflicts and optimizing operations. 

Consistent route changes and convenient support – from timetable to route 

The stability of the daily operating program depends crucially on the flexibility and speed of implementation of timetable or route changes. In TravisMetro, scheduling changes are immediately implemented as rule operations via train control at the connected station level. Train destination displays and train arrival displays are updated automatically at the same time. This allows the operator to concentrate exclusively on controlling operations by resolving displayed conflicts using standardized suggestions. 

Bundling of services to optimize operational processes

TravisMetro has numerous interfaces to the technical systems in use, so that the operator always has all the information on the current process image at their disposal. Largely automated processes for numerous services help them to keep track of delays and connections, the status of station technology, and passenger information at all times. Routine actions or standard operations as integrated components of the system are handled by TravisMetro. 

GoA2 – Increasing the frequency with semi-automatic train operation 

Increasing the frequency during peak hours requires consistent operational management down to the vehicle control level. TravisMetro currently integrates the control and interface to GoA2, so that only dispatching and door control are performed by the vehicle driver. By automatically accelerating and braking the vehicles, TravisMetro can thus reduce the train frequency during rush hours on busy sections of the route to 100 seconds.

TravisMetro successfully in operation: Hamburg High Rail

Scheidt & Bachmann System Technik GmbH has developed the control and operations management system (SBS) based on the Travis platform for the Hamburg subway, one of the most efficient local transport systems in Europe with 600,000 passengers daily. The SBS combines all functions for operational scheduling and customer service in a continuously networked, multifunctional operations control system. In addition to monitoring and controlling train traffic, the SBS also enables the control and management of technical equipment at subway stations.
