TrainPlan: Creating Conflict-Free Timetables
TrainPlan offers a fully scalable timetabling tool that meets the requirements of various users: from a single planner of an engineering agency, through to larger rail organisations with several sites networked to a single national database.
TrainPlan provides an extremely robust timetable database for storing all the development versions of a timetable, from the strategic plan to the short term engineering plan. To support all types of operational users, e.g. integrated railways, train operating companies and infrastructure operators, data handling is modified to support the relevant business rules and provide the required local outputs in each case. The system is also fully language configurable.

Funkwerk IT's award winning conflict detection and resolution routine allows you to build a conflict-free timetable quickly and to use the infrastructure efficiently. This can also take account of planned engineers’ occupation of the line.
TrainPlan’s sophisticated role-based user access control provides secure planning for multiple users, with either geographic or train-based areas of responsibility.
Timetable Robustness Analyser: Predicting Timetable Performance
The Timetable Robustness Analyser (TTRA) is a simulation tool that uses timetable planning rules to predict train delays when minor disruptions such as traction performance problems or temporary speed restrictions occur. A timetable can have the characteristic that delayed trains will lead to considerable knock-on effects, whereas another version of the timetable may be able to absorb such effects more readily. Ensuring that the service can recover quickly when one train is delayed not only makes travelling more reliable but also means that train operators can in some cases avoid substantial penalties.
It puts a high-performance tool that was formerly only available to engineers at the disposal of train planners. It then becomes easy for planners to improve the robustness of the timetable at the planning stage. The Timetable Robustness Analyser works directly from timetable data held within TrainPlan.

AccessPlan: Online-Negotiation for Train Paths
Nowadays the managers of the railway infrastructure are often in a separate organisation from the train operators. This means a train operating company has to order train paths from the infrastructure operator, who is normally responsible for granting access to the track. This requires a bid and offer process, in which the infrastructure company accepts or rejects a request or perhaps makes a counter-proposal.
AccessPlan provides system support that facilitates the accomplishment of this negotiation process and saves considerable time and costs for both parties.
It is a web-based client-server application, in which the integrity of the exchanged data is secure. AccessPlan is an independent application, which can work in conjunction with TrainPlan, but also potentially with any other planning tool.
