Rosnące koszty operacyjne, presja na 100-procentową punktualność i coraz wyższe wymagania kontraktowe zmuszają przewoźników kolejowych do analizy każdego ogniwa w swoim łańcuchu logistycznym. Obok wydatków na paliwo, energię trakcyjną czy utrzymanie taboru, na znaczeniu zyskuje obszar dotychczas traktowany marginalnie – logistyka transportu drużyn trakcyjnych.

In recent years, data security in railway transport has shifted from an administrative concern to a strategic priority. With the development of digital planning tools and automation of traction crew operations, new challenges have emerged — not only related to efficiency but also to system resilience, information protection, and compliance with regulations such as GDPR and NIS2.

Punctuality has long been one of the most important indicators of quality in transport services. In the railway sector, especially in freight transport, delays are often attributed to infrastructure limitations or weather conditions. Less attention is paid to the human factor – specifically, the punctuality of traction crews. However, the absence of a train driver or inspector at the right time is often the cause of many costly standstills.

Traction crew transport is one of the key operational processes in railway logistics. In an era of digitization and process automation, ensuring punctual, safe, and optimized transport of train drivers, shunters, or technical inspectors has become a factor that directly affects the reliability of railway operators. Companies like Cargo Speed International, using RAILY systems developed by SP Tech Solutions, are redefining the standards in this field.
