Rail Operations
Q2 2023 (April to June) Delivered
A key theme across the quarter was surfacing the right information to the right people, to expedite informed decision making.
Our control to staff messaging platform, Papagayo, received some improvements following feedback from users. Papagayo transforms staff communication providing the ability to share accurate information to impacted staff quickly, ensuring consistent, timely and targeted messaging to any staff, at scale.
Improvements included message templates making message creation even quicker, especially during times of disruption, speeding up the flow and delivery of information to front line staff.
Within Sirocco, we’ve worked collaboratively with SWR and Network Rail, on a proof of concept to define the source of delays. Having created a new map overlay, Sirocco can now illustrate markers for the location of delays which can be used to identify delays early, before they build up and impact services.
Berth Maps continues to grow with the creation of further maps across the Avanti network, and the creation of a Service List – illustrating all TOC services based on punctuality, completing the core feature set of the product.
Investing in the future of Berth Maps, a Proof of Concept was completed for Depot Management. This PoC is an interactive map with drag/drop functionality to document the location of units on roads in depots, providing individuals and teams a view of unit placement.
Development of Sarma, a stock and crew allocation and rostering product, continued to roll out Crew rostering and allocation features, as we move towards UAT and in production dates. Delivered features include:
- Final crew rostering functionality and links to interfaces such as HR/Payroll systems, enabling Rostering teams to create and amend long and short term rosters
- Identifying requirements for on the day allocations, enabling Resourcing teams to respond and allocate any changes to Staff on the day in response to current operational conditions
- Developed a Book on status dashboard so Controllers are aware of Staff presence – creating visibility of any risks in terms of Staff availability and therefore risks to train services
- Completed integration of all business rules including Terms & Conditions, H18 and Fatigue Index so rosters/allocations are compliant across all elements of the system
