A cornerstone of project success, Operational Concepts inform key design criteria and business case requirements. However, all too often there is misalignment between goals and realistic deliverables. Employing our team at project initiation will aid the development of an achievable and operable concept, and provide a platform to validate business benefits.

Our experts work with clients to develop, test or inform modern digital signalling deployments. New technologies such as ETCS, CBTC and ATO require detailed knowledge and simulation modelling to ensure maximum value is extracted.

Ever-increasing passenger demand requires creative ways to optimise capacity without the need to rely on major infrastructure upgrades. Let our experts model your railway to optimise system resiliance, dwell time management and relieve pinch-points.

Trains-per-hour is a traditional measurement of railway performance, but other measures reflecting overall capacity are also significant. Journey Time Capability is an alternative tool when planning and attracting investment. JTC requires detailed skill and knowledge to develop meaningful metrics and validation. Speak to us for advice.

Procuring railway systems that deliver world-class performance is wasteful if trains cannot be injected into service at the required rate. Depot simulation modelling will identify issues and potential solutions. Additionally, depot capacity modelling is crucial to ensure increased fleet sizes are operable and maintainable within existing or planned depot configuration.
