TPS.plan – Schedule Creation
TPS.plan enables railway infrastructure managers and train operators to create conflict-free timetables for passenger and freight transport that make optimal use of the existing infrastructure. The software covers all time horizons from strategic long-term planning to annual and daily timetables.

Intro TPS.plan
How can TPS.plan help to improve rail operations? Watch the video to learn about the main functionalities of our system.
TPS.plan is the right solution to ...
- transform the current schedule creation process and make it more efficient
- run simulations and test different timetable scenarios
- improve the capacity utilization and find room for additional train runs
- grant access to all relevant stakeholders of the timetabling process
- integrate a customer-specific bid-offer process for train paths
- connect with the existing IT infrastructure
TPS.plan User Interface
Macroscopic Infrastructure
- Schematic overview of the whole railway system
- Complete train runs can be highlighted
- Automatic validation of the created network
Microscopic Infrastructure
- Detailed track level plan including all signals, switches and line attributes
- Microscopic routing and parameters of security system (e.g. release times for signals) can be integrated
- Realistic copy of the infrastructure as base for all runtime calculations of trains
Tabular Editor
- Shows a list of all trains running in a network
- Selecting single trains allows to view and edit all relevant parameters (operating stations and stops on the route, tracks, departure times etc.)
- System calculates times of train runs between stations on basis of the infrastructure and the defined train data
Graphical Time Table (GTT)
- Diagram view enables a holistic view on all train runs on a route
- X-axis: time / y-axis: station
- Stops can be seen as horizontal lines
- View helps to get an idea of the routes utilization
- Room for additional train runs can be identified
Interactive Track Occupation Plan (ITOP)
- Shows the utilization for each platform of a station
- Occupancy conflicts are getting highlighted in color
- Helps for efficient station track planning
