Operator and IM systems
Timetables, delays, secure interfaces, RelatedTrainInformation, and other railway feeds stay close to the source.
A lightweight local worker reads approved data and forwards it securely into the platform.
Technology
The platform behind interoperable driver advisory
Railway systems stay where they are. The platform handles interpretation and advisory logic in the middle, and the onboard layer stays light.

Lean onboard tools for drivers and rollout teams
Architecture overview
A platform split that fits how railways actually operate
The split is simple: keep source systems in place, do the hard integration work centrally, and keep the cab side lean and focussed on the driver.
Interpretation and logic
The platform normalises data, resolves differences between sources, enriches context, and runs the advisory logic.
Most logic changes land centrally, so fixes do not require constant cab-side rollout work.
Onboard calculation and presentation
The onboard layer focuses on advice calculation, driver presentation, and other cab-facing workflows.
That can support existing driver apps as well as broader replacement tools when needed.
Interoperability and logic
One platform with clear roles
Interoperability and source handling
Railways rarely work from one clean stack. The platform handles standards, interfaces, and source differences in one place.

Standards help, but local source quality still decides what can be used in practice.
Keep the cab side light
Interpretation, enrichment, and traffic logic stay central. The onboard side focuses on calculation and presentation.
Faster logic updates
Less churn in driver applications
Less heavy rollout work in the cab
Deployment options
Three deployment paths
Some railways want advice inside an app they already trust. Others want a broader operational suite. The platform supports both.
01
Add DAS to an existing driver app
Keep the driver experience you already use and add advisory services behind it.
02
Replace fragmented operational tools
Use one platform for advice, schedule views, delay handling, digital instructions, and track works.
03
Managed SaaS delivery
Run the service with a low-operations model that fits railway security and data expectations.
Analytics and outputs
Use the outputs your way
Some teams want raw streams in their warehouse. Others want APIs or dashboards. The same platform supports each route.
Warehouse and streaming
Push SFERA Status Reports into your warehouse or consume the API directly.
Dashboards
Use ready dashboards when you want insight quickly without building the full analytics layer yourself.
Energy management
Built for continual energy improvement under ISO 50001
ISO 50001 asks railways to manage energy as a system and improve energy performance year on year. A Driver Advisory System is the operational lever for that improvement, and the analytics layer is the evidence — so an Energy Management System (EnMS) keeps getting better instead of plateauing after the first project.
DAS as the energy-saving lever
Driver advisory turns timetable and traction data into lower energy use on every run — the practical action behind your energy objectives and targets.
Analytics as the evidence base
Measure traction energy, set baselines and energy performance indicators, and verify savings with auditable data your EnMS reporting can rely on.
Continual improvement, year on year
A repeating measure-act-review loop with drivers and operators keeps energy performance improving annually, exactly as ISO 50001 expects.
- Does a Driver Advisory System support ISO 50001?
- Yes. ISO 50001 requires continual improvement of energy performance, and a Driver Advisory System (DAS) is a direct way to reduce traction energy on each journey. Combined with analytics that measure and verify the savings, it gives an Energy Management System (EnMS) both the action and the evidence it needs.
- How does Vireo Rail help railways improve energy performance year on year?
- Vireo Rail pairs driver advisory with analytics and continuous product improvement. DAS lowers energy use, the analytics layer tracks baselines and energy performance indicators, and the recurring measure-act-review loop drives further reductions every year rather than a one-off saving.
