NitroYard

How many challenges originate in the yard?

Yards face numerous challenges on a daily basis, such as the non-accurate ETA of trains. Yards are also tasked with ensuring the delivery of the right train at the right time, which is essential to maintain the flow of operations for both the crew and the main line. This on-time and accurate delivery is key to achieving Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and the best rail results.

OVERVIEW

NitroYard is designed to plan and optimize yard movements – including train arrivals, scout locomotives, loading and unloading, and train formation – and can be integrated with other railroad systems.
 
Benefits include a reduction of 10% in dwell time, better accuracy and integration with the mainline, energy efficiency, and added value to customers. Additionally, when NitroYard is coupled with the Nitro Movement Planner (NitroMP), railroads can achieve up to a 14% average velocity increase and up to a 30% reduction in meeting and pass time.
 
  • Perceives what happens on the mainline and on its own tracks and surroundings
  • Communicates with customers and crew to align its goals
  • Reasons and creates plans to receive and build trains
  • Executes the plan

APPLICATION EXAMPLE

Port of Santos Yard

65 Mton/year of grains and sugar (~32% of Brazil exports)

Complexities:

  • 17 terminals to unload grains (customers), with limited capacity to hold full and empties
  • Few tracks can hold an entire train
  • Interference with city road traffic
  • Bottlenecks
  • Diversified traction availability (tractors, electrical Vollert, dedicated locos)
