Eliminated disruptions in scheduled operations
Effective real-time traffic management - HaCon TPS Online
HaCon’s TPS solutions for train planning and capacity management enable network providers and operators to make the most of their infrastructure and significantly improve their work and business processes regarding operative timetable planning and real-time dispatching.
TPS Online, the new member of the TPS family, has been developed specifically for ad-hoc train dispatching that controls and optimizes everyday rail operations. Short-term disruptions such as delays, broken shunting points or signaling systems can be processed in real time. TPS Online detects conflicts that have an impact on the entire railway network and offers automatic, semi-automatic, and manual conflict resolutions. As a result, dispatchers can now immediately respond to disturbances, for example by advising trains to wait for each other, by redirecting them or by scheduling a change of track.
Forward-looking, smooth operations
Timetable construction
A long-term, conflict-free, robust timetable is the basis for operating rail services.
