DOC®:Trak Asset Management

Communication-Based Asset Management integrates
communications and identification technology

DOC®:Trak is a Communications Based Asset Management (CB:AMTM) information system that integrates industry proven communication and identification technology with expert system software to monitor, alert, and report on the mileage-dependent and time-dependent maintenance requirements of each car within your fleet.

DOC®:Trak is comprised of RailComm's Domains Operations Controller (DOC®) System along with industry proven automatic equipment identification (AEI) tags and tag readers, train detection, on-board GPS, and radio communications technologies to generate time/date stamped information. The DOC® computer uses the information for user definable monitor displays and reports for compilation and transmission to existing computer systems.

Features

  • EQUIPMENT TAGS AND READERS using industry standard RFID technology

  • USER-FRIENDLY DISPLAY operates within the familiar Windows environment.

  • USER CONFIGURABLE alert / notification and report generation.

  • EXTENSIBLE & SCALABLE allows features to be seamlessly added in the future as they become available. Sales from a single workstation up to fully redundant client-server based systems with multiple workstations.

Advantages

  • Just-in-Time Maintenance scheduling based on vehicle mileage(or operating hours).

  • Know every vehicles location in the yard or mainline.

  • Automatic notification allows schedules to be adhered too. Whether it is periodic maintenance, car washing or automatic routing when used with DOC®:Yard.

  • Provides information to other scheduling systems, to help insure a balanced usage of the fleet.

Applications

  • YARD MAPPING provides real-time tracking and graphical display of the cars. Remote monitors for displaying vehicle position on the storage track within the yard.

  • MAINLINE MAPPING provides car location identification in either graphical or tabular format supporting location and train arrival displays on passenger platforms.

  • MILEAGE MAINTENANCE SYSTEM provides automatic monitoring and notification of accrued operating mileage to support maintenance schedules.

Capabilities

RailComm’s DOC®:Trak System provides the ability to accumulate data and generate reports for each car or married pair:

  • Accumulated Mileage

  • Accumulated Operating Hours

  • Wash Records

  • Preventative Maintenance

  • Schedule Adherence

  • Real-time Yard & Mainline vehicle location

DOC®:Trak is network compliant and provides multiple levels of access to insure system security.

It uses railroad-proven AEI tags mounted on the vehicles to transmit an RF message containing its unique ID and other acquired information to wayside-based AEI tag readers. The AEI tag reader can be energized only when a train is detected to conserve power. The reader collects the information from a tag on each car of the passing train and sends it to the RailComm DOC® System via a wireless communication network. DOC® archives the information for generating customer defined reports or formatted for transmission to other computer systems. The data is time-and-date stamped to provide detailed monitoring and tracking of all your rail assets.

With strategically placed AEI tag readers powered by solar panels, a completely wireless system is provided. This eliminates the installation and maintenance costs associated with buried cable.

DOC®:Trak is compatible with other RailComm DOC® system solutions including a Communication-Based Yard Control System, DOC®:TWC computer based Track Warrant Control and DOC®:CTC mainline central control system for the ultimate railroad or rail transit monitor and control system.
