Train Management System(TMS)

Precision and performance in every train management solution

The Train Management System (TMS) offered by Vision Rails is an advanced signaling solution designed to centralize and optimize train control and management. It seamlessly integrates with various signaling interlocked systems, including PI (Panel Interlocking), RRI (Route Relay Interlocking), and EI (Electronic Interlocking), allowing multiple stations to be managed efficiently from a single, centralized location.

The core components of the Train Management System (TMS) include an application server for data processing, workstations for operational staff, and a Chief Controller Workstation for oversight. Field Interface Units (FIUs) manage train operations with various signaling technologies. Additionally, the system features a centralized maintenance terminal and integrated passenger information systems for real-time updates.
