Data and analytics platform for Talgo train operations

Think of this as turning Talgo’s trains into ‘smart trains’ that constantly send information about how they are running to a central brain. That brain analyzes everything in near real time so Talgo can run trains more punctually, maintain them before they break, and plan operations more efficiently.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Talgo needs to operate and maintain trains more reliably and efficiently across networks and countries, but data is scattered in multiple systems and coming in real time from trains and infrastructure. The platform consolidates and analyzes this data to improve punctuality, reduce downtime, and optimize maintenance and operations.

Value Drivers

Reduced unplanned downtime via predictive/condition-based maintenanceImproved punctuality and service reliabilityLower maintenance and lifecycle costs for rolling stockBetter asset utilization (trains, components, crews)Faster, more data-driven operational decisionsImproved safety through early detection of anomalies

Strategic Moat

Deep domain integration with Talgo’s fleet, telemetry systems, and operational processes plus historical operations and maintenance data, which is hard for competitors to replicate quickly.

Classical-ML (Scikit/XGBoost)

Data Strategy

Time-Series DB

Implementation Complexity

High (Custom Models/Infra)

Scalability Bottleneck

Handling and storing large volumes of high-frequency telemetry and time-series data from trains in real time while keeping latency low for analytics and predictive models.

Early Majority

Differentiation Factor

End-to-end integration of IoT/telemetry from rolling stock, advanced analytics for predictive maintenance and operations, and domain-specific optimization for rail operations rather than generic BI tooling.
