TPS solutions for your planning needs

As a modular toolbox and high-performance software solution, transport planning systems (TPS) combines infrastructure, timetable, and train path management as well as all interaction. You can benefit from flexible TPS editions and modules – from strategic planning to annual timetables to short-term planning based on real-time data operation. The system can be adapted to a variety of needs.

Product information TPS products enable flexible software solutions for train planning, capacity management, and more. With them, Hacon, a Siemens company, helps network providers and operators to make the most of their infrastructure. The standard software solution has a modular structure and allows for the combination of infrastructure, timetable, and train path management. From strategic long-term planning to annual timetables to short-term planning based on real-time data during operation – TPS enables users to create reliable timetables. Thanks to flexible modules the software can be adapted to a variety of needs. TPS Classic provides the basis for all further editions here.

TPS Operator: Flexible and efficient cooperation

TPS Operator is a version of TPS that has been adapted specifically to the needs of transport companies who cooperate with network operators based on common standards in order to create their timetables. The Operator edition enables users to easily and quickly access the current infrastructure database and check train path inquiries for current vehicle positions, construction areas, and other factors. Integrated interfaces allow users to readily access schedules and operational processes.

TPS Online: Real-time train dispatching

The TPS product TPS Online is specifically designed for ad-hoc train dispatching. Users of the software can react in real-time to unforeseen events such as delays or broken shunting points and signaling systems. TPS Online identifies conflicts in the entire railway network and offers automatic, semi-automatic, and manual conflict resolutions. This way dispatchers can react to current events without losing any time by advising trains to wait for each other, by redirecting them, or by scheduling a change of track.

TPS Track Works: Managing construction sites

TPS Track Works solution helps to reduce train disruptions and delays caused by track construction works. It enables users to manage all construction sites within their network using one single software. This makes your operations even more effective! From strategic planning several years in advance to the coordination of construction projects: TPS Track Works helps to simplify all processes and, at the same time, to schedule operations in a way that minimizes negative impacts on train operations and travelers.

Benefits

High performance

Multi-user operation is a central element in the software architecture. As a result, trains can be processed by various planners from different organisations on different locations at the same time. Rights, roles, groups, and users can be precisely defined.

Tailored to your needs

Highly flexible and configurable solutions for railway networks of any size. TPS creates reliable timetables from strategic long-term planning to real-time train dispatching.

Fits in your IT environment

TPS provides several automated interfaces (e.g. web services) and thus, optimally interacts with other systems. Customer-specific functions can be easily integrated. This way, the software perfectly adapts to existing IT infrastructures.

It‘s MIT-certified

Each day our apps and web-based solutions receive over 100 million requests from passengers who rely on HAFAS to empower their mobility choices; this is why our software is considered the highest industry standard for trip planning.
