Optimising operations and use of infrastructure capacity

Increasingly, service operators need to squeeze more out of the available infrastructure through improving the efficiency of operations. Cogitare can help by:

• Improving planning and timetabling;
• Reducing run-times, station stop-times, and their variability.
  

This can be achieved through improving the knowledge and modelling tools used to derive timetables, and assisting in run-time and station stop-time management initiatives through:

• Performance measurement (surveys, automated information systems etc.);
• Best practice benchmarking;
• Target setting;
• Improving driver/dwell-time management training and monitoring tools;
• Improving driving aids such as signage.
  

For more information on how to implement performance improvements, and relevant Cogitare experience, please refer to Improving performance through management/staff knowledge and incentives.
