OpenTrackHub, Swiss Federal Railways (SBB)

Conception, Development

Development of an interface between the timetable software NeTS and the simulation tool OpenTrack. OpenTrack itineraries are assigned to trains depending on their path signature in NeTS. Thanks to the tool, manually processing of trains in OpenTrack is omitted.

Risk Landscape, Federal Office of Transportation (FOT)

Requirement gathering, basic concept

With the system "risk landscape" (RiLa), the BAV analyses the risk in public transportation depending on location-based risk data. In this project, the existing system was analysed, requirements for a new systems were gathering and a basic concept was created.

RADN, Swiss Federal Railways (SBB)

Conception and tender for managing RADN data of SBB

RADN is the name for the SBB document defining speed limits on tracks and in stations, wisteling information, etc. Those data are exposed to permanent change due to changes on tracks. Therefore, they must be hostorized and versioned. The application was realized in Java and supports the editors of RADN in publishing the current RADN documents.

Technical Running Time, Swiss Federal Railways (SBB)

Conception and implementation of the technical running time module ZLR

The technical running time is the time a train needs for a certain under best circumstances. It depends on physical properties of track (gradients, curves, tunnels) and rolling stock (traction power, weight, braking behavior) and on regulations (speed limits, signals, driving regulations). The technical running time is an important key number for the construction of routes in planning and disposition. The running time calculator is available as centralized webservice to the SBB systems Puls90, NeTS and RCS. It was implemented in C# and DotNet.

BetaTrasse, Swiss Federal Railways (SBB)

Implementation of the BetaTrasse algorithm, part of project Puls90

For railways companies it becomes more and more important to drive in an energy saving ways. Therefore, the SBB have started a research project to construct energy saving routes. The BetaTrasse is a route to make use of running time reserves to drive in an optimal ways with repect to energy consumption. Those routes are communicated to the engine drivers as guideline and helps SBB to save energy. The BetaTrasse is available as centralized webservice to the SBB systems Puls90, NeTS and RCS. It was implemented in C# and DotNet.

Ticketing, CityNightLine

Conception, rollout of the online-ticketing solution for CityNightLine

CityNightLine developed an own internet ticketing shop based on the print@home solution of ELCA. The solutions was rolled out in short time and allowed customers of CityNightLine to order and print tickets via the internet at home.
