The real time, on the day decision support tool for control centres which utilises GPS, train running, resource, consist and service data on maps and dashboards, providing alerting for live services and a virtual allocation dashboard to speed up information flow during disruption.
Sirocco was developed as a decision support system, avoiding the large implementation and on-going costs of alternative products. Sirocco has a modern user interface for control centres who can see information relating to stock and the crew running each service, from one system (where previously this needed three).
It has subsequently been enhanced with an allocations dashboard; Performance dashboard (which shows alerts when a train has stopped outside of a planned stop or if a turnaround for stock or crew is at risk) and virtual allocations which uses GSM-R data to flag where the allocation may be incorrect.
