SBB Webinar: The swiss way to capacity optimization for Traffic Management

ABOUT THIS WEBINAR

We shape the mobility of the future – simple, personal, connected. The Swiss are world champions in rail travel. Every day, some 10,000 trains travel on SBB’s more than 3,000-kilometre-long track network, bringing 1.21 million people to their destination. SBB also transports 205,000 tonnes of freight on its railways every day. These impressive figures are unmatched anywhere in the world. Managing such vast volumes day after day is no mean feat. The continued expansion of railway services and the growing demand for freight transport services are leading to ever greater traffic density.

To enable it to control rail traffic safely, punctually and efficiently, SBB has developed its own Rail Control System (RCS) for train dispatching and monitoring. A range of applications can be added on to RCS, making it well equipped to deal with present and future challenges. RCS-Dispo is the leading dispatching software in Switzerland – it’s not just SBB that relies on it, but BLS and SOB too. In late 2016, the Belgian rail infrastructure operator Infrabel also successfully switched over to RCS-Dispo.
