RailComm provides car tracking and inventory management to TASD

Written by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor

RailComm was selected to provide and install a car tracking and inventory management solution at Terminal Railway Alabama State Docks (TASD).

 

The RailComm Car Tracking System solution offers a near real-time inventory management solution to actively manage inventory as it moves through the yard. Users have data about train consist and location readily available and it is designed to minimize the need to walk the yard to ensure that switching movements correspond to the plan in place.

RailComm’s solution will offer TASD an understanding of car location and dwell times, increased accuracy of train movements and quick location of specific cars within the facility.

The system will be comprised of multiple subsystems including RailComm’s Yard Portal for vehicle recognition, detection system using axle counting technology, radio communication infrastructure, RailComm’s Yard Inventory Manager web-based user interface and RailComm’s Domain Operations Controller.
