The
interconnected network of Sydney Trains is maintaining a state of complex
operations that keep the customers satisfied with the services, take one
million people to their destination in time and keep them happy with the level
of services that they receive. It is a difficult challenge to face and finds an
innovative solution under the implementation of technology and facilitation of
improved solutions (Atsb. gov. au). The re-vision of Sydney train
operations is to have a focus on the customers and services provided to them.
The transport head in charge is focusing on the congestion alleviation system,
responsive passenger information system and alleviation system of the rail
network. The development program is interlinked with the passenger actions and
needs of the passengers. The provision of services is related to the process
based on shifting of passenger needs (Hensher, Ellison and Mulley).
One
of the major issues faced by the Sydney train network is Town Hall Station. The
central station is providing services to the customers under constrained
limitations. The central station for the commuter is working in the Sydney CBD.
The constrained limitations are imposed on the demands of customers and the
physical design system. The physical fit is provided to the travelers that work
in the same platform. The management system is concerning passenger comfort and
the customer demand interact with the prevention methods of construction (Youssef and McKinnon).
Sydney
trains are currently engaged with the process of development and implementation
of new systems and to solve the congestion issues that utilize main and
innovative technologies. The process of constructing new paths is highly
frequent in the major stations. The other facilitations are highly linked with
customer comfort and create an additional network with the worth of $ 50 – 60
million. Customer services aim to identify workplace seamlessness and to
develop the technology system that communicates the information system. Based
on the analysis, it can be concluded that the implementation of technology and
network system can reduce the unnecessary congestion and it can improve
customer comfort in trains. The use of visual indication has a significant influence
on the behavior of customers and positions of platforms. The installation of
indicators is also inducing negative impact on the customer experience and
demonstrate the effect on movements of passengers in the platforms (Hensher, Ellison and Mulley).
