Poste d'Aiguillage Informatisé PAI

French to English Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping driver's cab
In a tender for supply of rolling stock, this term comes up several times. I expect there is an English equivalent but I haven't found it yet. My proposed translation would be Computerised Switching Station. TIA for any help. GB English.
