| Best-Practise Examples from Funkwerk Information Technologies |
|
Born of practical experience, made for practical use: our close communication with our customers is one of our strengths. Solutions are always developed together with our customers and in so doing, we often break new ground – leading to the creation of highly innovative products and practice-oriented solutions which remain successful for many years.
Planning and Simulation
|
 |
|
Our tool TrainPlan is used by more than 500 planners in infrastructure and train operating companies. This makes it one of the most widely used timetable development tools. With its highly sophisticated conflict detection and resolution routine this tool sets new standards in the creation of conflict-free timetables. |
|
|
|
With AccessPlan infrastructure operators and train operating companies can negotiate online for access to lines, which considerably shortens the bid and offer process. |
|
|
|
Our ResourceManager is used to allocate rolling stock and personnel efficiently during real-time operation. |
|
|
|
Our operations and interlocking simulator BEST has been in successful use for efficient interlocking planning and operator training for more than 10 years. This simulation system guarantees a high degree of planning quality and operating safety for railways. |
Operations Control and Operations Information Technology
|
|
|
Our computer-aided train tracking and monitoring system is a recognised standard in control technology. The system has been modernised up to the latest technical level and integrated into the new operations control centres. The operations control system, which functions as a central pool into which all operating data flow, needs no more than a few control centres to supervise and control traffic across the entire rail network. This results in considerably more cost-effective and flexible operations management. |
|
|
|
With its high degree of automation and integration our fully integrated operations control and monitoring system (SBS) for urban public transport and regional lines is considered to be the most advanced of its kind in Europe. |
|
|
|
The process data server developed by Funkwerk Information Technologies automatically provides real-time data and forecasts for train arrival and departure times. The server takes information from the control system of an operations control centre and compares the timetable with up to the second process data. This procedure is the basis for automated announcements. |
|
|
|
To provide information for operators and passengers beyond the boundaries of different transport systems, Funkwerk IT has developed the modern, web-based operations information system RIMOS. By applying the VDV/SIRI communication standard, RIMOS offers a joint information platform for all public transport companies. This operations information system for passenger information and guaranteed connection services enables public transport companies to provide their passengers with up-to-date information on the basis of actual data over the complete way of transport. Various passenger information display technologies can easily be controlled by RIMOS. |
Signalling Technology
|
|
|
Alister - our modern, slim-line interlocking system – was developed specifically for small and medium-sized stations. The system uses standard industrial components, making it efficient and future-compliant at the same time. Alister is scalable and can be configurated from SIL 0 to SIL 4. |
|
|
|
AlisterCargo – this electronic interlocking system for marshalling yards, gravity humps, industrial railways and depots is also based on standard industrial components. Based on AlisterCargo is our newly developed automated depot control installation which enables a modern operation of marshalling areas by means of locally power operated points. |
