Timetabling and Network Access
TPS.plan
TPS.plan combines the management of infrastructure, timetables and train paths. It provides reliable timetables for strategic long-term planning as well as annual and daily timetables. The system models a "digital copy" of the rail network and the infrastructure. This way, it enables highly accurate timetable management.
Interface and Functions TPS.plan
- UI with geography-, planning- and diagram-editor
- Precise runtime calculation
- Automatic search for conflict-free train paths
- Simulation of timetables and operations with evaluation options
- European standard of communication TAF TAP TSI
TPS.trackworks
With our TPS.trackworks software, constructional measures can be planned with as little impact on passengers as possible. From strategic long-term planning to coordinating single construction projects on short notice – our software simplifies processes, and makes it possible to manage all constructional measures on the rail network in a central system.
Functions TPS.trackworks
- Central access to short- and long-term constructional measures
- All steps of the process are supported by a configurable workflow engine
- Precise localization of construction sites
- Interactive maps and visualizations
- Easy export of all constructional measures
TPS.portal
TPS.portal enables the coordination of all requests for train paths and availability restrictions. When a railroad company wants to change their existing timetable, the infrastructure operator has to release train paths for this purpose. Our software ensures that this application process can be handled without complications. The system can either be used as a stand-alone web portal, or it can be fully integrated into the planning process with TPS.plan.
TPS.portal at a glance
- Supports the ordering process of train paths - from the request to the final release
- Automatic validation of all entries
- Can be used as a separate web portal or a fully integrated solution
- Customizable design and individual ordering processes
Operation and Dispatching
TPS.live
When existing timetables have to be changed on short notice, TPS.live is the optimal software solution for this task. Dispatchers can react to disruptions with no time loss, while considering all network operations. TPS.live automatically determines the best possible dispatching measures, displays all current train positions and forecasts their further journey dynamically.
TPS.live at a glance
- Integration of infrastructure, timetable and real-time data
- Creation of a detailed timetable on the basis of the framework planning and for previously unplanned trains
- Continuous rescheduling of encounter traffic
- Online conflict detection based on real-time train positions
- Manual, semi-automatic and automatic resolution of conflicts
TPS.yard
Whether yards, train supply facilities or depots – with TPS.yard, capacity and utilization of facilities can be planned precisely. The software determines exactly which tracks should be used at which time, right down to single wagons. Both long-term and short-term planning, including live operation, can be handled with the system.
Interface and Functions TPS.yard
- Modern user interface: Web ITOP (interactive track occupancy plan)
- Automatic validation and detection of conflicts
- Intuitive web usage for different user groups
- Chat function & sidebar
TPS.fleet
Existing vehicle resources can be deployed optimally with TPS.fleet. The system generates rosters automatically and directly from timetable data. It determines the number of vehicles required for the operation and how these are optimally deployed in the network. Schedules can be generated for periods ranging from several weeks to a single day.
Functions TPS.fleet
- Complete overview of all circulation days and visualization of possible conflicts
- Timetable changes are included through integrated planning
- Consideration of maintenance intervals, cleaning work, refueling times, etc.
TPS.crew
Qualified train crews must be deployed to ensure operation according to the timetable. With TPS.crew, staff rosters can be created that fit the current timetables and take the qualifications and preferences of the crew into account. Operational regulations such as rest or break times are also considered when creating the rosters with TPS.crew.
Features TPS.crew
- Rule manager (parameters e.g.: Place of residence, driving times, route knowledge, legal regulations, etc.)
- Variants of staff rosters serve as a basis for creating a shift plan
- Time/performance diagram
Data Management
TPS.integrate
Importing, editing, harmonizing and integrating: With TPS.integrate, mobility and timetable data from different transport providers can be brought to a common base. The web-based tool analyzes data from different sources and ensures their consistency. Harmonizing data from different providers makes it possible to offer passengers seamless travel chains.
TPS.integrate at a glance
- Automatization of data processing
- Enrichment of existing data
- Validation and control of import and export processes
- Web-based and available in the cloud
