• Optimum use of a tractive rolling
stock (TRS) within a selected
traffic route.

• Indication and warning of negative
conditions related to the TRS
operation.

• Minimising the thefts of traction
diesel.

• Detecting anomalies in
consumption at the time a new or
repaired TRS is put into operation.

• Providing a train driver with
instructions for a better TRS
operation.

• Providing information in order
to compare a planned and an
actual consumption diagram for
electricity supplier.

• Preparing a diesel consumption
plan.
