Railway Technology und Public Transport

The rail and public transportation sectors are constantly faced with challenges: the introduction of new technologies and changes to the legal framework call for strategies and solutions, with cost-effectiveness a constant consideration. We apply methods based on traffic planning and railway engineering to optimise the entire system.

We offer solutions in these areas:

  • Compilation of traffic analyses and forecasts
  • Development of tendering and operating concepts for public transport
  • Feasibility studies and systems/installation planning for terminals and railway stations
  • Capacity analyses for routes and intersections
  • Planning for the introduction of new technologies (e.g. migration strategies)
  • Studies on the operational impact of changes to statutory regulations and standards

Our approach always takes account of the impact on the various sub-sections of rail and public transport networks: we focus in particular on the cost-effectiveness of alternative solutions in respect of infrastructure, operations, supply and demand.

We use scientific models and modern IT tools to solve problems. Examples include:

  • Demand models
  • Dynamic simulation models for traffic planning
  • The Open Track simulation software from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich, for operational
    • rail studies

Our team includes rail, construction and electrical engineers as well as economists.
