One incident log for every team
Crashes, hazards and service disruptions logged once, with priority, status and assignee, visible to every agency on the response.
Transportation Safety
One picture of the network, corridor to control room
When a crash closes a carriageway or a possession overruns, the transport management centre, road crews and rail teams need to be working from the same facts.
The challenge
Real pressures on the network
- 01
Scattered incident reporting
Crash and closure details spread across radio, phone calls and paper logs, so the picture is never the same for every team.
- 02
Possessions that run over time
Track work extending past the planned window with no shared record of who is still on the corridor when trains are due back.
- 03
Slow detours and replacement transport
Road closures and rail disruptions needing quick, coordinated decisions on diversions and replacement services across agencies.
How CommandPost® helps
Everything the network needs, in one place
From the transport management centre to the crew on the corridor, one shared operating picture keeps incidents, possessions and diversions moving together.
The corridor on a live map
Closures, detour routes, worksites and possession limits plotted on one map with uploaded track plans and reference locations.
Safe working checks in the field
Track access permits, look-outs and pre-start checks completed on site, visible to the possession manager and the TMC as soon as they're saved.
One run sheet for the shift
Possession windows, bus replacement timings and detour changes on a shared schedule every team works from.
Who to call, on every team
Rail control, road crews, tow operators and emergency services listed with role and direct contact, no searching for numbers.
Plans and permits kept together
Track diagrams, traffic management plans and photos stored with the operation, ready for the debrief.
Incident timeline
A bridge strike closes the highway and slows the line
A truck strikes a rail bridge overnight. The transport management centre, road crews and rail control share one picture of the corridor.
- 05:12Bridge strike reported
The TMC duty officer logs the strike from a passing patrol, marking the location and closing the northbound lane.
- 05:20Line speed restricted
Rail control sets a temporary speed restriction over the bridge and tasks the possession supervisor to inspect the structure.
- 05:45Detour and replacement bus arranged
A traffic crew signs a detour off the highway while the coordinator arranges a rail replacement bus for the affected section.
- 06:30Structural inspection clears bridge
The possession supervisor confirms the bridge is undamaged and logs photos and the clearance time to the file.
- 06:52Line and lane reopened
The TMC lifts the speed restriction and reopens the northbound lane once the inspection report is closed out.
