Ferromex railroad has chosen RailComm to provide yard automation to 80-plus newly-installed switch machines, which will be controlled via the RailComm Domain Operations Controller (DOC) in Torreon City, Mexico.
The DOC system will allow authorized personnel to route trains through the location, as well as control individual switches, Fairport, N.Y.-based RailComm said..
The DOC software-based control system is a command, control, communications and information server-based platform that supports a variety of integrated solutions for indication, control, access and distribution of critical operational data.
