Control Room Messaging Systems
Overview
Tyrell and TyrellCheck
Our core Control Room Systems are Tyrell2, Tyrell IO and TyrellCheck. TyrellCheck is a web based solution that allows messages sent by Tyrell operators to be viewed via web browser. Access for TyrellCheck can be configured to be via the client intranet, or via the Public Internet (the latter locked down via secure acccess).
Tyrell and TyrellCheck allow messages sent by other Tyrell Users to be viewed on the recipients' Nexus Alpha-supplied systems. Therefore, messages sent by one train operating company can be viewed via another train operating company intranet.
Tyrell is functionally very rich, yet the core functions of the system are very easy to use.
Core Benefits
The underlying concept behind our Control Room systems is simple. Using structured input templates, a single message can be entered and rapidly disseminated using a variety of methods to anybody requiring the information.
Tyrell is therefore a powerful data capture, incident management and information dissemination tool. Benefits include:
- The ability to keep whoever you want informed with consistent, managed information
- Faster operational decision dissemination, leading to improved business efficiency
- Reduction in resources required, leading to extra value time for operational staff
- Access to a nationwide transport information network
- Operational, commercial and safety benefits
Tyrell runs on standard PCs running Microsoft WindowsTM and can installed across network infrastructure via LAN or WAN.
Structured Data Capture
Tyrell uses a defined set of input templates to allow messages to be constructed.
- Drop-down lists ensure rapid data entry (e.g. locations) and control of content (e.g. reasons for problems). Standard text already forms part of the message and compulsory fields ensure minimum content is entered
- Consistent messages are generated, independent of operator
- The system supports the ability to cut and paste text to and from other Windows applications
- A transport database on Tyrell can be accessed via templates, allowing for service-specific messages to be selected very rapidly (e.g. for entering service cancellations and delays)
These features combine to allow for rapid, accurate, controlled data entry, with structured templates and drop down lists ensuring good spelling and grammar.
