Abstract: The system of the present invention preferably comprises a set of wayside occupancy detectors, an output device, a memory and a processing unit. Each wayside occupancy detector preferably generates a set of transport detection signals in response to detecting a set of mobile transports. The output device is used for displaying information. The memory, has a transport object comprising program instructions for automatically retrieving the set of transport detection signals and for automatically collecting a set of information related to operation of the transportation network. The memory also has a service object comprising program instructions for generating graphical representations of transport locations, transport status statistics, and transport performance statistics upon the output device corresponding to both the set of mobile transports and a set of fixed transports.
