Comprehensive and consistent information
Communications
A modern operations control system performs a wide range of functions and processing tasks for which several radio systems are used simultaneously. However, it is the comprehensive integration of all communication systems that makes the ITCS a consistent operations management system with high availability.
Voice and data communication in the ITCS
The availability and accuracy of real-time information and the reliable accessibility of radio participants via voice radio are of utmost importance when operating an ITCS. This is the only way to correctly assess the traffic situation and trigger actions in a timely manner.
Intelligent use of communication services
The accuracy of real-time vehicle location is of central importance for operations management. This information gives the driver and dispatcher an up-to-date overview of timetable adherence and is also crucial for calculating and displaying arrival and departure times at stops and in vehicles.
The bandwidth and security of data transmission are key criteria when transmitting operational data, such as timetables and statistical data. Transmission takes place at the depot or during the journey.
