Our DAS technology generates, and continually adjusts, an optimal journey profile throughout each trip and provides operating advice to achieve this. The system considers a range of factors including track geometry and speed profile, timetable, train characteristics, and train position. The combination of skilled operators and supportive technology guides each train towards achieving peak performance and fuel efficiency.
Creating your dependable, efficient network
Operational efficiency levels can vary significantly between drivers using identical train configurations on the same route, creating uncertainty for your business. DAS negates these inefficiencies.
Sharing optimised advice equips your drivers with the situational awareness to challenge their preconceived instincts. This is proven to enhance service reliability, cut fuel costs, reduce emissions, and improve outcomes for scheduling and maintenance functions.

Fuel efficiency
Network capacity
Improved on-time running.
Boosts rail network capacity and performance by improving on-time running to junctions and other critical timing point locations.
Maintenance
Achieve better use of rail assets.
Extend the life of your rail assets by reducing wear and tear on trains and tracks. This minimises maintenance costs caused by braking and overspeeding, which can significantly affect equipment lifespan.
Drivers
Create your DAS driver champions.
Supportive technology helps your drivers to achieve timetable compliance. Trapeze provides DAS training, including for union representatives, to upskill staff and enable driver champions to support colleagues using the system.
Decarbonisation
Reduce carbon emissions.
Meet your internal carbon emissions targets and government policy goals by decreasing your organisation’s energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
Fuel efficiency
Cut ongoing fuel costs.
Optimal driving reduces fuel consumption, making a significant contribution to your bottom line when energy use can be half of a locomotive’s lifetime operating cost.
