AARK is non-invasive and easy to use. It takes less than 15 seconds for a train driver to log on and start a route management session and it does not distract them from their safety critical duties while on shift as AARK works in flight mode. Thanks to AccessibilityService API the app will turn on the flight mode automatically every time the driver starts to log a route. AARK also has the ability to manage traction competencies, train driver
licenses, driver medicals, rules and regulations and any ad-hoc competencies that a rail company may require to oversee. AARK eliminates the old “Self Sign” approach to route knowledge and replaces it GPS time stamped evidence of when a driver last drove a particular route, it will also show how much of the route was driven and in what traction type this occurred. AARK will also note if the driver was route learning, refreshing, conducting or being conducted. All this information is used by AARK in order for a driver’s route competency to be updated with concrete evidence of routes that have been driven.
