Tailored to Your Needs
Highly flexible and configurable solutions for railway networks of any size. TPS creates reliable timetables from strategic long-term planning to real-time train dispatching.
High Performance
Multi-user operation is a central element in the software architecture. As a result, trains can be processed by various planners from different organisations on different locations at the same time. Rights, roles, groups and users can be precisely defined.
Fits in Your IT Environment
TPS provides several automated interfaces (e.g. web services) and thus optimally interacts with other systems. Customer-specific functions can be easily integrated. This way, the software perfectly adapts to existing IT infrastructures.
Planning with Overview: The TPS Workspace
Infrastructure maintenance is performed in the Geography Editor. Here, users can choose between a network or a line display and even view the tracks along the routes and in the train stations in microscopic detail. Line closures, construction sites etc. can be seen at a glance.
Once the train paths have been created, the Planning Editor allows to maintain them, plan new ones and add construction activities. Each path is listed with its respective calculation, validation and publication status.
The Diagrams Editor visualizes information on track occupations and possible train path conflicts. Planners can choose between a route-specific time/path view (Graphical Timetable), a station-specific time/track view (Interactive Track Occupation Plan) and a calendar-based view.

TPS Operator
Efficiency in Passenger and Freight Transport
TPS Operator is specifically designed for transport companies that cooperate with network operators according to common standards in order to create their timetables. It allows them to easily and quickly access the current infrastructure database and check train path inquiries for current vehicle positions, construction areas and other factors. Thanks to integrated interfaces, schedules and operational processes are readily accessible. The companies involved can thus react even more flexibly on short notice: Manual maintenance or subsequent data conversion into certain formats are no longer necessary – this saves both time and costs.
TPS Online
Effective Real-time Traffic Management
TPS Online has been developed specifically for ad-hoc train dispatching that controls and optimizes everyday rail operations. Short-term disruptions such as delays, broken shunting points or signaling systems can be processed in real time. TPS Online detects conflicts that have an impact on the entire railway network and offers automatic, semi-automatic, and manual conflict resolutions. As a result, dispatchers can now immediately respond to disturbances, for example by advising trains to wait for each other, by redirecting them or by scheduling a change of track.
TPS Track Works
Track Work Planning
HaCon’s TPS Track Works solution helps to reduce train disruptions and delays caused by track construction works. It enables users to manage all construction sites within their network using one single software. This makes your operations even more effective! From strategic planning several years in advance to the coordination of construction projects: TPS Track Works helps to simplify all processes and, at the same time, to schedule operations in a way that minimizes negative impacts on train operations and travelers. TPS Track Works supports in calculating anticipated delays and, as a multi-user application, provides all stakeholders with an integrated view of current projects – from your employees to external contractors requesting network access. It features an intuitive GUI that facilitates a clear allocation of competencies as well as defining comprehensive workflows.
TPS Integrator
Mobility Data Integration
HaCon‘s TPS Integrator is a powerful tool used to integrate scheduling data across several public transport providers, closing the gap between planning timetables and providing integrated timetable data via the distribution systems. The software specializes in collecting and processing all timetable data and feeding harmonized data to customer information systems – passengers benefit from door-to-door routing and fully detailed timetable information.
