Reference Projects
Selected projects and professional examples in railway operations, transport planning and infrastructure management.
Analysis of stabling planning in passenger transport with the aim of reducing empty movements and improving operational efficiency. An optimised stabling concept made it possible to avoid around 16,000 km of empty movements per year and achieve savings in the mid five-figure range.
Border closures created conflicting requirements in cross-border passenger transport: on the one hand, service levels were to be reduced; on the other hand, cross-border commuters still had to be transported and rolling stock had to remain internationally available. Based on a systematic analysis, an adapted timetable concept was developed that combined both requirements in an operationally feasible way and was supported by the responsible border control authorities.
The project analysed whether the design of different signalling concepts (colour, shape, design) has a measurable influence on the number of signals passed at danger. The figures from Austria, Poland and Switzerland for shunting movements were compared. The analysis showed that the Polish signalling system with light points in changing colours provides by far the highest level of safety compared with the Austrian and Swiss signalling systems using white light points in variable forms.

Development of a future timetable concept with increased service frequency in regional and long-distance traffic. Analysis of conflict points, capacity limits and operational interactions, as well as definition of the infrastructure adjustments required for implementation.

Development of a network timetable and service concept for the Franz-Josefs-Bahn on the Tulln/Donau – České Velenice section, including the direct integration of Horn by means of a wing concept Wien – Sigmundsherberg < Horn / České Velenice. Preparation of rolling stock diagrams and definition of the vehicle types to be used.
