Cloud-based Railroads Crew Management software solution for complex operations

Railroads deal with the transportation of freight across the larger geographical spread. This requires them to ensure that properly trained personnel are deployed for the efficient and timely movement of goods. Any delay in movement results in huge financial loss to the operator. The operator also needs to ensure that railroads crew management and allocations are done based on their skill set. This also ensures increased utilization of assets and lower downtime.

Crew Scheduling

For any public transportation system, the key is to ensure that the operator is able to match the frequency of the trips. Inability to do so results in inefficient asset utilization. Empty runs or dead runs are a drain on the asset utilization at the start or end of the schedule. Inability to minimize these dead runs for each asset is a key customer challenge. The inputs from past schedules and the pattern of people movement make the scheduling efficient.

Crew Allocation

It is quite challenging for the operators to manage resources, especially when it comes to large crew allocation in a leveled fashion.  The over and under allocation makes an unleveled, uneven crew allocation. Therefore, railroad crew management is a challenging task. Driver mapping is a key parameter in ensuring higher vehicle utilization. Without historical information, achieving this is a difficult task.
