Welcome to a new way to record car movements, make crew work assignments, reduce paperwork and errors.

ROCSMobile is a modified version of the standard ROCS system that has been set up specifically to the needs of a train crew.  Items that they don't need to have access to (or shouldn't have access to) have been blocked, and we have made some improvements to the screens to make it easier for a train crew to use. 

ROCSMobile has been designed to either store car movements for transmission when the system is synched with the desktop system, or when used with a wireless internet connection, transmit the car movement messages to RAILINC in near real time.

One of the other features of ROCSMobile is the platform that it is designed to work with - a Tablet PC.  A Tablet PC uses the same Windows software as a regular notebook, but it also includes the added feature of handwriting recognition.  This way, the user doesn't need to use a keyboard or a mouse to input data; a pen is used to point the cursor, and enter data with handwriting on the screen.  With ROCSMobile, the user only needs to tap on the screen twice with the pen to move a car.

While the Tablet PC makes ROCSMobile easier to use, it isn't limited to a tablet.  It is fully functional on any Windows notebook that has a 1024X768 display (which most notebooks do), and has Access installed on it.

Having a computer with your train crews opens a whole new realm of possibilities:  Electronic documents, movement forms, emergency response information, and other features are just on the horizon.  With ROCSMobile, your train crews can move into the 21st century reality of real-time shipment information, giving your company the competitive edge in today's transportation marketplace.

ROCSMobile is available for a small additional monthly charge for ROCS users.
