Transport

The transportation sector must adapt to new realities and rapidly evolving market conditions, all while increasing the efficiency of transportation systems. To overcome these challenges and ensure the reliability, safety, environmental performance, and maintenance of transport networks, stakeholders are collaborating to drive innovation through the development and deployment of new technologies.

• Collision‑avoidance systems
• Emissions reduction
• Performance optimization (environment and safety)
• Multimodal information system optimization
• Improved controls

Expertise

COFOMO’s consultants leverage their deep understanding of these major issues, enabling them to contribute to large‑scale projects that help major organizations accelerate progress toward their business objectives.

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)

A system for control, technical implementation, and feature development aimed at improving the management and operation of user services.

• Increased monitoring of multiple types of vehicles using onboard GPS
• Network event analysis to support better operational management
• Real‑time route visualization and historical route tracking on map‑based interfaces
• Process improvements enabling data refresh every 5 seconds instead of every 30 seconds
• Availability of analytical features (automatic logging, enhanced access to management data, etc.)

Computer‑aided dispatch and passenger information systems (CAD/ITS)

The CAD/ITS solution aims to improve vehicle operations and fleet management while ensuring service consistency across major transportation projects. Expect efficiency gains of over 40%.

• Fast and seamless integration to minimize adjustments to processes and practices
• Reduced discrepancies, enabling better message control and faster feedback management
• Creation of a knowledge hub and change‑management champions within project teams
• Efficiency gains through consolidated activities during analysis and testing phases

Positive Train Control (PTC)

Implementation of a functional requirements system for train monitoring and movement across multiple sites in North America.

• Integration of communication and network components (fiber‑optic, microwave)
• Validation of satellite‑based positioning system tests
• Development of trackside signaling systems
• Computer‑aided dispatch and back‑office server systems
• Development and installation of onboard computers

Mobility

• Messaging alerts providing updates on any changes affecting travelers (terminals, airports, etc.)
• Telecommunications infrastructure upgrades for the replacement and conversion of high‑availability systems (control tower, coordination center)
• Development of features for interactive maps, itineraries, services, promotions, and more
• Automated notifications for registered customers, real‑time data exchange, geolocation, and the deployment of a dedicated control room
