TrackAccess
A modern dark territory track authority system designed to reduce human error and improve safety through structured, auditable authorities.
TrackAccess integrates with WebHOS railroad Hours of Service compliance software to support coordinated dispatching and duty time oversight.
Independent Safety Risk Assessment
A preliminary fault-tree risk assessment prepared by Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (TTCI) compares TrackAccess to manual Track Warrant Control (TWC). Baseline results indicate a collision hazard rate improvement of approximately 37x, with sensitivity analyses showing improvements ranging from about 18x to 75x depending on assumptions.
Note: The report describes hazard rates, not accident rates, and includes caveats and sensitivity analyses. See the PDF for details.

TrackAccess Reduces Reliance on Contract Railroad Dispatching Services
TrackAccess offers a safer, more cost-effective alternative to traditional contract dispatching services. By leveraging advanced technology, we reduce the need for full-time contract dispatchers and support fully autonomous operations, enabling a hybrid model that optimizes costs and enhances safety.
Eliminate Full-Time Dispatchers
With TrackAccess, you can significantly reduce or even eliminate the need for full-time contract dispatchers, streamlining your operations and cutting costs.
Support Autonomous Operations
Our platform supports fully autonomous railroad dispatching, allowing for efficient and reliable operations without the constant need for human oversight.
Hybrid Dispatching Models
TrackAccess enables hybrid models where contract dispatcher services are utilized only when necessary, ensuring you pay for what you need without compromising on safety.
Key applications for safer rail operations
Typical Use Cases
Dark Territory Operations
Manage train movements in areas without signal systems using clear, auditable authority controls.
