Trimble Adds Timing, Position and Safety to Rail Yards

Trimble [Nasdaq: TRMB], a Sunnyvale, Calif.-based GPS products maker, has been chosen as the primary GPS timing supplier for Cattron-Theimeg‘s ACCUSPEED locomotive radio remote control system. The system allows rail yard operators to control the direction, speed and auxiliary functions of switching locomotives in rail and industrial yards. Trimble’s GPS timing adds features that enable the system to more efficiently utilize scarce and expensive radio spectrum, while also increasing the safety and productivity of remote control locomotives in yard operations.
