Train Planning System (TPS) - Network Capacity Management

Right from the start, the HaCon Train Planning System was developed to allow the integration of any and all customer-specific functions. And you also profit from multi-user operation, which is a central element in the TPS architecture. As a result, trains can be processed by different users at the same time. Rights, roles, groups and users are defined precisely.

TPS combines infrastructure, timetable and train path management as well as all interaction. Thus, you can optimise your work and business processes in no time flat. The entire network is always taken into consideration during all types of planning, while the local planning priorities are also carefully observed.

Success Story Denmark

TPS was put into operation for the first time by the Danish State Railway (DSB) in 2002. In addition to the DSB operator, Banedanmark, the Danish railway infrastructure company, and Trafikstyrelsen, the supervising authority, also work successfully with TPS in Denmark. Approximately 40 users at three locations manage a network of 4,400 km, with 3,000 lines in the long-term and 10,000 in the short-term planning. 15 other systems in the Danish production environment are linked with TPS.

Further European railway networks that have already made the decision in favour of TPS are Network Rail, the British railway infrastructure company, and Réseau Ferré de France (RFF), the state operator of the French rail network. Once fully implemented, 400 users at three locations in Great Britain will be planning a network of 27,000 km and 90,000 lines in the long-term planning and up to one million in the short-term planning. 250 other production systems are linked with TPS.

The system is optimised for operating with three screens per client (Infrastructure Editor, Timetable Editor, Graphical Timetable). Click on the descriptions to get more information.
