DeltaRail Provides Advanced Solutions to Improve Business Performance on the Railway

DeltaRail's mission is to provide specialist solutions for the international rail industry. This is about using appropriate technology to deliver improved business performance for customers. The business is fortunate to employ over 400 engineers and scientists, many of whom have many years of experience in the rail industry, and who are acknowledged experts in their particular field. This breadth of expertise is being used today to help to improve operational performance, reduce costs and to ensure regulatory compliance.

DeltaRail has reorganised its operations to emphasise the business benefits of what it does for its customers. Part of this process has been to align its product development and project delivery groups with five product areas, or themes:

- Dynamic Signalling and Control Solutions

Effective signalling control is at the heart of a modern and efficient railway. DeltaRail supplies the Integrated Electronic Control Centre that is used widely on Britain's rail network. There are 22 such control centres on Network Rail's infrastructure.

- Infrastructure Support Services and Systems

DeltaRail provides innovative solutions to help to predict and prevent infrastructure outages, and to reduce maintenance costs over the asset lifecycle.

- Operational Planning and Real Time Railway Management

The long term planning of railway infrastructure, rolling stock requirements and passenger services is a complex task, whilst the day to day operational management of the railway has its own unique challenges.

- Design and Project Management of Rolling Stock Refurbishment and Enhancement

The refurbishment and upgrading of rolling stock is an important aspect of providing both an improving service to passengers, and modern functional specification. Improvements to rolling stock increase asset life and therefore reduce cost.

- Rolling Stock Maintenance Solutions

The optimisation of inspection processes, maintenance schedules, and operational parameters (such as vehicle speed) uses an integrated approach that can take account of the risks of component failure and service outage.
