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.

Agile Hybrid: Economic usage of communication systems in ITCS

The availability and bandwidth of voice and data communication are key requirements for the secure and economical operation of the ITCS. While private mobile radio systems (PMR systems) ensure exclusive quality of service, public mobile radio enables the rapid transmission of large amounts of data.

The targeted combination of private mobile radio and public mobile radio allows the advantages of both radio systems to be used optimally. ‘Agile Hybrid’ enables service-oriented prioritisation or fixed allocation of voice and data radio actions between the control centre and the vehicles via the available radio systems.

Modern and future-oriented voice communication in ITCS

Advances in voice and data communication offer operations control systems the opportunity to implement new applications and modernise operations management. The aim is to meet future requirements in terms of availability, the necessary bandwidth and communication security in accordance with the ISO 27001 standard. In addition to private mobile radio, the use of public mobile radio is playing an increasingly important role.

Looking to the future, expandable systems are required that allow the integration of new voice and data services. ebblo wants to achieve sustainable further development of voice communication for the ITCS of tomorrow – that is why we have decided to collaborate with TASSTA. Their VoIP system offers a modern and future-oriented solution platform with a wide range of functions.
