MRX Technologies

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

MRX Technologies provides solutions in optimised train handling for heavy haul operations.  The solution is normally developed by in conjunction with the client to develop train handling strategies that optimise specific operational requirements.  The objective in these solutions is to reduce fuel consumption while keeping train coupler forces at acceptable levels and journey times that deliver maximum economy.

The focus of this technology is how to drive the train along a specific route to achieve reduced fuel consumption given the operating constraints including speed restrictions, operating schedule, type of Rollingstock in use and track constraints.

The main benefits of the MRX Optimised Train Handling solutions are:

• Significant energy (fuel) savings
• System throughput can be increased
• It is a tool that can be used to develop efficient train operating schedules
• Can be expanded to include “intelligent” in cab driver assist.

Optimised train handling is crucial to any freight train control system that is focusing on Automated Train Operations. MRX’s optimised train handling consultancy can be validated by the train simulation studies undertaken by us.
