Typical challenges in the Transport industry

Do these data and analytics challenges sound familiar?

Large volumes of data are typically in silos across the business leading to a highly complex and time- consuming reporting process
There is no ability to track and detail individual asset performance holistically
Visibility into operation journeys against scheduled journeys is delayed
There is lack of insight into current and future energy consumption
No ability to monitor current and future asset maintenance

Our Transport Solution Overview

SIRI Protocol in Toustone's Transport Solution

Benefits to Australian transport operators

Toustone has built its real-time transport data module based on the SIRI protocol. SIRI stands for ‘Service Interface for Real-time Information’ and it is a CEN technical specification and XML protocol developed in Europe (initial participation by France, Germany, Scandinavia, and the UK).

The SIRI protocol was designed as a standard for transmitting messages to allow distributed computers to exchange real time information about public transport services and vehicles.

There are multiple reasons why we chose the SIRI protocol for our real-time transport data module. To the right are a few of these:

It is a globally recognised standard for transmitting messages from all transport operators (think trains, buses, ferries etc. Regardless of the transport type, the SIRI protocol can be used).
The SIRI protocol is already being used as the protocol of choice in parts of Australia. For example the NSW Government has adopted the SIRI standard.
SIRI is all about communicating to the customer in a superior and accurate way. Accuracy of data resonates strongly with our values.
SIRI helps the transport industry move away from “now” “now” and instead move towards “when exactly is the next train arriving”

Australian Train Operator Case Study

Automated operational reporting

Our client is a large train operator currently operating and maintaining a line in Sydney, which contains 36km of track, 13 stations and delivering 346 daily services. Toustone enabled them to accurately track every journey with one dashboard that captures all train, station, and patronage data in one location. By unifying all their data sources they can now drill down from the big picture into individual train journeys to target specific performance issues.

What has Toustone been able to provide for your Train Operations?

“Toustone has been able to provide far more accurate detail than any other service we have worked with previously. We have gone from absolutely nothing and bad Excel reporting to actual live data feeds inside a year… it’s amazing.”
