Railway Traffic Management and Simulation Integration

For infrastructure managers, railway operators and simulation environments

TMS supports operational planning, conflict resolution and traffic scenario validation.

TMS is designed for real-time railway traffic management in complex and congested areas. It connects with railway simulators or control-center environments to monitor traffic, detect future conflicts, reschedule trains and provide feasible timing plans.

Railway Traffic Management

Global optimization routines help resolve conflicts, adjust train ordering, evaluate alternative routes and update operational plans in real time.

Traffic Simulator Integration

TMS integrates with simulation environments such as FRISO, exchanging train, infrastructure and timing-point information during operational studies.

Scenario Validation

Simulation-based studies support the evaluation of bottlenecks, timetable robustness, capacity use, punctuality and speed-profile feasibility.

Operational integration

From simulation to control-room logic

TMS works with simulator inputs including train positions, routes, timetables, timing points and acceleration or deceleration models. The system updates its internal network model, runs the Conflict Resolution System and returns optimized timing plans that can support railway supervision, dispatching studies and operational validation.

Relevant for European rail contexts

TMS grew from European research projects and simulation studies connected with ProRail and FRISO. This background makes the system especially relevant for organizations evaluating traffic management, ATO-related scenarios, capacity constraints and operational resilience.

Focus areas

  • Railway traffic optimization and conflict resolution
  • Integration with traffic simulators and railway control environments
  • Scenario simulation for bottlenecks and timetable robustness
  • Support for ERTMS and ATO-oriented studies
