SJ DEVELOPS A NEW LOCOMOTIVE DISPATCHING SYSTEM

SJ UTVECKLAR ETT NYTT LOKLEDNINGSSYSTEM

SJ is developing an information system for locomotive dispatching with the assistance of a computer. It is expected to be in operation in 1978. The locomotive dispatching will be concentrated at a control center in Stockholm and will in the first place be responsible for about 700 main line locomotives. It will also be responsible for the distribution and recording of the service of all locally assigned vehicles. In all, the system will include 2000 tractive units and railcars. A later extension of the system is intended to include also the allocation of about 2000 passenger coaches. A short description of the system is given.
