<< Key Functions >> << Problems >>

 Impossible to quickly understand the entire impacts by paper-based diagram  Complicated to coordinate crew duties by Managers and Dispatchers individually  Time shortage to re-arrange crew duties based on train delay  Long time-taken to complete communication with all crews affected by large-scale delay  Complicated to follow the transmission progress by Dispatcher in OCC
