SATO is used for automated management of railroad train movement in freight and passenger service. It performs optimal management that minimizes energy consumption and ensures the adherence to the movement schedule.

SATO uses a management method based on the innovative technology of uninterrupted identification of pull and braking characteristics, the characteristics of train resistance and wheel-rail adhesion. The knowledge and use in controlling the accurate and up-to-date characteristics of traction equipment allows you to considerably cut the consumption of fuel and energy resources.

The latter affords the SATO system a considerable advantage over competitors.
