Scout for Transit
Scout for Freight
Our pure IP platform links locomotive, yard, wayside, intermodal, transit and dispatch personnel for safe, efficient rail control. Manage railway dispatch and operational continuity with a single flexible communication console.
Railroad performance success can be measured in many ways—from ever-critical personnel and rail network safety metrics to major operational metrics, such as railcar velocity and dwell time, train speed and/or train length. They all require clear, reliable communications. That’s where Avtec® Scout™ dispatch consoles come in.
Providing no-fail, system-wide communications is one aspect of a dispatching solution. By using a COTS-based (commercial off-the-shelf) hardware platform in our pure IP console system, railroads can leverage non-proprietary PC, server, and IP networking equipment, which ensures business continuity, and provides a scalable system that delivers safe, efficient operations at significant savings over legacy technologies.
With failure-proof performance and profit-enhancing productivity, the Scout family improves operational efficiency and keeps workers, equipment, and railways safe. That’s why today, most railroad networks choose Scout dispatch consoles, including:
