Proven Solutions for Complex Rail Challenges

Signature Rail technology solutions provide resilience and stability to withstand the daily disruption faced by rail organisations.

From the planning of efficient, conflict-free timetables, to the cost-effective delivery of services on the day, and modelling future networks, Signature Rail customers are able to increase capacity and reduce the cost of operation while delivering services that meet, and surpass, passengers’ expectations – whatever the weather.

Rail organisations have always faced uniquely complex operational challenges, including managing rolling stock, linear and infrastructure assets, large, diverse and often ageing workforces, heightened expectations from passengers and increasingly complex timetables that require multimodal integration.

Today those complexities are greater than ever before, as the industry looks to recover from Covid-19 and restore fragile confidence in public transport – and that’s without considering other disruptions such as new rolling stock, electrification, franchise changes, timetable failures, ERTMS implementation and more.

With disruption a seemingly permanent challenge, rail organisations require the support of technology partners who can be completely relied upon to provide essential resilience and stability, and ensure costly mistakes are avoided.

SOME OF OUR GLOBAL CUSTOMERS

What our customers say

I’ve worked with TrainPlan and the fine folks in York for over 20 years. I’m not aware of any agency on this continent that has conquered an undertaking of this magnitude – schedules, crewing, equipment cycles, terminal and yard planning, passenger connections, downstream systems, etc. The project team is to be commended – it’s taken everyone’s efforts. Work continues, of course, but it’s my hope that Metro North’s system will stand as the model for North American passenger railroads.

TrainPlan allows us to manage our data in an efficient manner allowing for safe and high performing service changes to be implemented as quickly as possible. This has been a particularly important capability over the past ten months given the volume of timetable changes we’ve had to make and continue to have to make.

We have had an excellent relationship for many, many years. The team are service minded to our needs. It is more like colleagues than a vendor/customer relationship: they have their mind on getting the railway running. They understand rail and offer good advice on how to proceed. It’s been very, very good.

Data processing is much quicker using Signature Rail software and the increased visual clarity on graphs produces a far more accurate result.
