Planning and Simulation in the rail industry
SELEX Systems Integration has in-depth knowledge of
planning and simulation solutions, and is working with the UK rail
industry in this area to deliver key projects. Our planning and
simulation capability is based on more than 30 years’ engineering
experience, especially in the aerospace industry.
Meeting government demands
SELEX Systems Integration has invested in understanding the
issues and regulations faced by the rail planning community.
It has applied this knowledge in combination with new technology to
develop a timetable planning solution which has the capability to
improve the published timetable and serve as an enabler for Network
Rail to meet its investment commitments to the UK government.
Enhancing data quality and reliability
Currently, we are working with Network Rail to implement a new
timetable planning solution which will improve:
- Timetable performance and resilience
- Network capacity planning and allocation
- Distribution and publication of timetable data
- Rail industry collaboration and integration
The effectiveness of the new timetable planning solution will be
enhanced by its simulation capability, which will model alternative
timetables and infrastructure changes, leading to improvements in
timetable resilience and more effective use of network
capacity.
The new planning solution will also improve the quality and
reliability of the data used by customer-facing stakeholders (for
example National Rail website and Train Operators’ websites such as
Virgin West Coast, First Great Western, and National Express East
Coast) and UK operational stakeholders (such as the signalling
community, stations, customer information systems, and automated
routing systems).
European rail support
Outside the UK, SELEX Systems Integration is also involved in
providing a similar solution to European infrastructure providers.
Both the UK and European solutions make use of a timetable planning
tool which has been developed by a third party, using SELEX Systems
Integration’s analysis to meet the requirements of the UK rail
industry.
