The Train Management Facility (TMF) project is a cutting edge project to provide a management system to support the business needs, operations and maintenance of M>Train and Connex vertically integrated franchisees.
The implementation of a fully integrated Train Management System is a very complex undertaking. The project requirements are delivered progressively, initially controlling the area presently controlled by Metrol including all of the external system interfaces – widening the indicated area, then extensions to the control area.
The TMF functionality addresses limitations in the Metrol system and improves communications, monitoring, recording and reporting. The TMF provides the central facilities for the future remote control of all signalling infrastructure for the entire Melbourne Metropolitan network.
The TMF project truly takes us – Beyond TrainControl.
