Data driven insights to improve rail efficiency and reliability

Simulation-driven decision-making enables operators, infrastructure managers and policymakers to better substantiate both strategic and operational choices.

Using digital models, scenario analyses and advanced data analytics, you gain insight into the performance, risks and future developments of the rail network.

Whether it concerns optimising timetables, predicting maintenance needs, responding to climate change or enabling sustainable growth, simulation-driven decision-making makes it possible to address complex challenges quickly, transparently and reliably.

Data-driven insights for faster decisions

A key advantage of this approach is the reproducibility of results. Digital models and standardised datasets make it easy to repeat and validate analyses, leading to better-informed decisions and increased transparency.
In addition, simulations allow you to rapidly calculate and compare different scenarios. This enables you to respond flexibly to changing conditions or new insights.The result: faster decision-making, reduced risks and greater capability to deliver efficient, future-proof rail transport.
Unlock the full value of your data. Are you ready to take control? Now is the time to drive successful adoption.

Solutions for operators and infrastructure managers

Timetable simulations

Modelling and optimising timetables, robustness testing and capacity planning. Using tools such as OpenTrack, entire networks are modelled and multiple scenarios can be tested. This provides insight into the optimal balance between capacity, reliability and punctuality.

Digital Twinning

A digital twin of rail infrastructure is a virtual representation of real-world assets. This digital replica is continuously updated and serves as a simulation environment for assessing the impact of potential changes.
The digital twin platform supports operations and maintenance and evolves alongside the asset. Benefits include smarter asset management, predictive maintenance, fewer disruptions and lower costs.
Applications include energy analysis, capacity management and passenger flow simulations. Digital twins accelerate the digitalisation of rail and contribute to a more efficient and sustainable network.

Network analyses (power supply)

Through advanced network analyses, we provide an integrated view of the capacity and reliability of the power supply.
By simulating grid congestion and traction energy demand, bottlenecks and solutions become visible at an early stage.
These analyses go beyond a single factor: they combine technical, operational and energy data into one coherent view of the network. This reveals where timetables may fail, where physical constraints arise or where the energy system is under pressure.
The goal: to identify bottlenecks early through simulation and make well-founded decisions on improvements to timetables, infrastructure and energy systems.

Advanced data analytics and dashboarding

Clear insight into performance, trends and risks through intuitive dashboards and data analytics.
With analytics and dashboarding, you can quickly and confidently steer both operational and strategic objectives – from day-to-day monitoring to long-term planning.
