TRTS and Driver Only Operation: lessons that cut dwell time
Driver Only Operation, or DOO, is a game changer in modern rail transport, significantly reducing dwell times and enhancing operational efficiency. By leveraging the latest advancements in technology and strategic design, we empower drivers with the tools to manage train operations autonomously, streamlining the boarding process and minimising delays. Our commitment to training and support ensures that drivers are equipped to handle every situation confidently, improving not only punctuality but also the overall passenger experience. As we embrace Driver Only Operation at Softech, we continue to set new benchmarks in project delivery, ensuring that our electrified rail networks operate seamlessly and reliably while maintaining safety and excellence at their core.
