Oncron Technology Powers ScotRail's Operational Intelligence

Oncron reaches a major commercial milestone as its AI-driven railway intelligence technology becomes part of Incremental Solutions' Operational Intelligence Suite for ScotRail.

Oncron is proud to announce its first railway customer deployment, delivered through its partnership with Incremental Solutions. As part of a multi-year contract with ScotRail, Oncron's technology has been selected to power key analytical capabilities within Incremental's Operational Intelligence Suite.

Already integrated into Incremental's platform, Oncron's technology will help ScotRail gain deeper insights into how delays develop, propagate, and repeat across Scotland's railway network.

Understanding Why Delays Spread Across the Network

Railway delays rarely happen in isolation. A small disruption affecting one train can trigger a chain of secondary delays, impacting services across the network.

Understanding these interactions is essential to improving operational performance. Yet conventional reporting often focuses on individual trains or delay events without fully revealing how they influence each other.

Oncron changes this perspective by connecting individual train movements into network-wide delay chains.

Our technology analyses train-to-train interactions across the railway network with second-level precision. It identifies how delays propagate between services, detects recurring patterns, and provides insights that can inform more effective service recovery strategies.

This enables railway operators to move beyond simply measuring delays towards understanding their underlying operational dynamics.

Powered by Oncron. Delivered Through Incremental Solutions.

Oncron's technology is integrated directly into Incremental Solutions' Operational Intelligence Suite, complementing Incremental's established railway analytics and operational intelligence capabilities.

Together, the technologies help transform complex railway operational data into actionable insights.

The integrated solution will support ScotRail in:

• Understanding delay chains: Identifying how individual train movements and interactions contribute to secondary delays.
• Detecting recurring patterns: Revealing repeated operational conditions that affect punctuality and network performance.
• Supporting service recovery: Providing evidence to identify opportunities for operational improvements and more effective recovery strategies.

A Major Milestone for Oncron

For Oncron, this agreement represents an important step from technology development to commercial railway application.

As an early-stage company specialising in AI-powered railway traffic analysis and optimisation, securing a multi-year customer commitment through an established industry partner is a significant validation of the technology and its relevance to real operational challenges.

It also demonstrates Oncron's integration-focused approach: delivering specialised railway intelligence as a technology engine within existing software platforms.

The collaboration provides a foundation for further innovation in network-wide delay analysis, operational decision support, and intelligent service recovery.

Working Together for Better Railway Performance

We thank the team at Incremental Solutions for their trust and partnership and look forward to supporting ScotRail in improving its understanding of recurring delays and network performance.

Huge thanks to Scotland's Railway for helping to make this happen and Transport Scotland for funding this via the targeted performance fund.

Together, we deliver superhuman decisions for trains on time.
