July 23, 2010 – RailComm has provided the Track Warrant Control (TWC) system for the Wisconsin and Southern Railroad. RailComm’s state-of-the-art Domain Operations Controller (DOC®) train control system is accessed through a web-enabled Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery model. RailComm’s SaaS offering provides a “pay-as-you-go” model, thus eliminating capital equipment procurement constraints. Through this state-of-the-art SaaS delivery model, the railroads are remotely dispatched by Wisconsin and Southern wherever an internet connection is available. Therefore, it is possible to relocate the dispatchers to alternative locations as required. Additionally, railroad management can log in from an office, home, or even from a hotel and directly view dispatching activity and management reports. Since the DOC® control application resides on servers within RailComm’s managed data center in Rochester, New York, the requirement for local IT support at each railroad is greatly reduced.
