CURRENT POSITION OF CENTRALISED FREIGHT TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AT THE SNCF

OU EN EST LA GESTION CENTRALISEE DU TRAFFIC MARCHANDISES

In this article, Mr. Plantureux, Ingenieur en Chef at the SNCF Transport Management, recalls what is meant by "Centralised Management" on which subject the RGCF devoted its March 1971 issue; he then explains the three stages planned for its introduction and reviews the position as at 1 July 1972. The third stage, which will mark the extension of new methods to the whole SNCF system, is now in progress and should be completed in the first half of 1974. In conclusion, the author states that studies on the Centralised Management of Passenger Traffic have just begun but the work is difficult and the first stage is to prepare an involved specification so that data on train formation can be placed in store for the automatic reservation of accommodation later on.
