TRACS Scheduling Software

TrainTRACS/BusTRACS is production-standard software for driver and crew scheduling. Optimal crew shifts are created with functionality including a very flexible rule editor, ability to cope with multiple depots and complex geography and both Long Term and Short Term planning modes. TrainTRACS is used in-house by most UK Train Operating Companies operating passenger services on the UK railway network and by several large bus operators. It can also be used as a consultancy or option development tool.

TRACSRoster is a fully automated base roster optimiser which creates an efficient base roster taking into account all rostering rules and shifts.

Functionality includes forecasting and assisting in minimising overtime and rest day working with optimal placement of spare turns. TRACSRoster has been successfully adopted by over 10 Train Operating Companies.
