Transforming Freight Rail Schedules for Efficiency and Railway Fatigue Management
Circadian Case Study: Leading Freight Railroad - Solution: Software to Create Crew Schedule Predictability
Circadian was enlisted to revolutionize a major freight rail carrier’s scheduling by moving away from the traditional 24-hour on-call system. This shift aimed to provide engineers and conductors with regular schedules, easing their work-life balance and ensuring better preparation for night shifts.
Circadian developed innovative software, TrainMatch™ and TrainSim™, to analyze traffic patterns and simulate schedule impacts, enhancing both safety and productivity. By negotiating new labor agreements and implementing a more predictable scheduling system, Circadian successfully improved scheduling reliability and efficiency, setting a new standard for the industry.
