The operations control systems of the Vicos OC product family (Vehicle and Infrastructure Control and Operating System) monitor operation as well as control interlockings and infrastructure. Fitted with efficient components, adaptable user interfaces, and modular automation functions, they ensure that dispatching runs efficiently and guarantees maximum availability of operating resources.

The Vicos OC operations control system family makes it possible to meet the specific requirements of railway operators. A wide variety of different configurations can be implemented - from individual operator consoles to large control centers with complex automation functions.

The Iltis integrated control and information system enables efficient automatic operations management for main-line and mass-transit railways.

Iltis covers the entire field of operational railway control, from the local or remote control of individual interlockings to the automation of entire rail networks. Iltis guarantees safety-critical operator control of interlockings and a reliable display of the operating situation. The system features a high degree of flexibility thanks to its scalable, modular design.

The Op LT D 901 is the standard human-machine interface system for the El S operator console as used by German Railways (DB AG).

The Op LT D 901 HMI system is an operator control and observation system which displays information from railway operations in graphical form and passes commands from operators to the appropriate system. The system receives indications from the electronic interlocking, train describer system, train routing system and other systems.

The Falko software program is used for the design and validation of timetables. It was developed as a means of optimizing operational planning and control for operations control systems. Falko facilitates the generation of optimum timetables (in terms of train intervals plus energy and resource savings), and thereby helps maximize the overall performance of mass transit and main-line rail systems.

The program is based on the Windows® NT 4.0 operating system; its operations conform to Windows conventions. A number of processes can be optimized using Falko:

The Vicos OC 5 and Vicos OC 15 remote control sys-tems enable relay interlockings to be integrated into a network. Relay interlockings can then be operated and monitored from an operations control center. In this way, relay interlockings can be operated together with elec-tronic interlockings from the same operator console via a uniform user interface.
 

The Vicos OC 5 and Vicos OC 15 remote control systems perform the following functions:

The Vicos S&D service and diagnostics system is a user-guided diagnostics system for electronic interlock-ings and remote control systems. It provides specific information on the causes of failures and gives the operator instructions on how to clear faults.

The system consists of software components for service and diagnostic functions which are installed on standard industrial-purpose computers. The service and diagnosis computer serves the function of an electronic fault journal. The data collected is saved and made available to the maintenance team for fault clearance and subsequent archiving.
