Frequently Asked Questions
What is a DCC command station?
DCC stands for digital command control, and here, DCC command station personnel work in subway and rail transportation systems, taxi dispatchers, bus lines and other organizations. They use technology to keep logistics running smoothly, including large monitor arrays, multiple computer towers and associated cabling. All of this equipment can easily result in a cluttered, chaotic work environment.
Saraval Industries knows exactly how to design control rooms that support DCC command center equipment while maintaining an orderly atmosphere and great aesthetics too. We can oversee the entire process from project inception through delivery and installation.
Who controls subway trains?
Subway trains are controlled by the operators in the train control room (TCR) or the rail control center (RCC). The TCR or RCC operator is responsible for monitoring and controlling all of the operations, including speed, routing and scheduling. Saraval Industries can design environment-specific subway train and rail control rooms that support the needs of these specialized operators.
Who is in charge of the railway system?
The railway system is overseen by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). The FRA works with the National Transportation Safety Board to ensure that all of the regulations and safety guidelines for rail transportation are met. Saraval Industries recognizes the importance of these standards, and as such can provide a range of furniture solutions that meet or exceed these strict regulations. We have a team of experienced professionals who can help you create the perfect rail control room environment.
What is a Broadcast room?
A broadcast room is a specialized space that is used to create and manage content for television broadcasting, live streaming, and other media. This may be achieved through the use of studio equipment such as cameras, audio systems, graphic generators, and software. Also importantly, deadlines in the broadcast industry are strict, so a broadcast room must have enough space for all necessary equipment and personnel in order to facilitate efficient production and broadcasting. Lastly, the consoles used as workstations need to be able to handle the weight of all of the broadcast equipment and be designed for the staff’s ease of use.
A control room in radio is a space where sound engineers, producers, and other personnel can manage the audio aspects of a live or pre-recorded broadcast. It is generally an isolated area with access to all of the necessary audio equipment, such as mixing boards, processors, lights, and monitors. All this equipment must be within reach so radio broadcast teams can work quickly and efficiently. Configuring several workstations or one very long work desk is ideal for a radio control room, as it allows multiple people to work simultaneously and enables them to switch between tasks easily. Additionally, the control room should be properly sound-proofed to minimize any potential interference from outside sources.
