3. Market Leader - Train Dispatching Market

The global train dispatching market is projected to grow from USD 942 million in 2022 to USD 1,391 million by 2027, registering a CAGR of 8.1%. train dispatching has evolved as an efficient means of managing dispatch units and reporting & analysis. The train dispatching market is witnessing demand from verticals worldwide due to the increasing need for public safety and the evolution of communication technology and connected devices. To gain a competitive advantage in the train dispatching market, organizations emphasize upgrading and enhancing their offerings to explore the mature market and the potential opportunities in new avenues. Most train dispatching systems can incorporate information from the following systems: records management system (RMS), general information sheet (GIS), automatic vehicle locator (AVL), and caller ID. RMS provides data relevant to the current service call. GIS provides geographical and geospatial data. AVL pinpoints the location of response vehicles, allowing the train dispatching system to help determine the most suitable unit for a response.

Dispatching trains is a complex and demanding process. Normally, in an eight-hour shift, a train dispatcher will control about 20 to 30 trains, most of which operate over single tracks. Therefore, the dispatcher must arrange opposing trains to meet at passing sidings. The dispatcher must also safely coordinate the movements of roadway maintenance gangs, signal maintenance crews, and others. In addition, federal law requires that the dispatcher maintain a ‘train sheet,’ which records train operating and delay statistics. The train dispatcher also coordinates with other dispatchers, exchanging information about the operation of the dispatcher’s territory.
