Train Scheduling and Simulation
Summary
Public transportation is an industry that services millions of commuters and vacationers worldwide every day. Transportation systems in large metropolitan areas such as New York, Los Angeles, and foreign countries such as South Korea and Japan rely heavily on the accessibility, reliability, and timeliness of train and subway rail systems. Information technology has the ability to influence the rail transportation industry through its use of train scheduling, ticket reservations and simulation software.
Our business proposal is to create a company that will provide the public rail transportation system with the needed Information Technology protocols to increase customer accessibility, network efficiency and increase performance within the railway system. The software applications that our company will provide, will assist the rail industry with train scheduling and simulation, signaling protocols, acceleration and deceleration velocities, dynamic scheduling strategies and automatic runs on third lines due to high density traffic.
Our company will provide the rail industry with an updated technology platform that travelers from all over the world will be anxious to use. The system will allow for ticket reservations and purchases via any internet capable mobile device. Once a reservation is made, automatic updates of where their train is and the status of its arrival can be automatically sent to an email address or via SMS messaging. While the customers benefit from ease of booking and a friendly user interface, the rail company will benefit from the conveniences of safety and effectively managing their reservations and scheduling effectiveness. The system will automatically monitor train speeds and locations, and will be able to intervene if an over speed or collision detection sensor is activated. Both the customer and railway companies will benefit from this IT solution.
Our company will identify the above areas and provide solutions that can be utilized in any railway transportation system based on their specific needs and requirements. Our company will create, distribute, and provide technical support, installation and maintenance of all the required software and hardware needed to provide the customers and commuters with the best possible solutions and reliability. Our company promises to bring the future to the rail industry.
