(Alliance News) - Synectics PLC on Thursday announced it has successfully deployed the first phase of its operational management system for German railway operator Deutsche Bahn AG's S-Bahn in Berlin.
The Sheffield, England-based provider of security systems said the system, which is part of a Deutsche Bahn commitment to revolutionise Berlin's rail services, uses its new Synergy hybrid cloud software platform to support live operations across an urban transport network that incorporates trains, tracks and stations.
Synectics said the initial implementation of the system in Berlin went live on Friday last week and will continue to be rolled out over the next few months as the teams add functionality and refine the user experience.
Teams at S-Bahn's operational headquarters are now using Synergy and its new mobile application to connect, respond, and collaborate with passengers and staff on-board trains and at stations, the Sheffield, England-based company said.
"The S-Bahn project is strategically important to Synectics and the wider urban transport industry. Together we have created new possibilities for integrated command, control and communications across complex urban transport networks that are no longer confined to traditional control room operations," said Chief Executive Paul Webb.
Shares in Synectics were up 5.8% at 108.44 pence in London on Thursday.
