Planning at Railion Germany

The Railion group is the largest rail cargo carrier in Europe. Within the Railion group, Railion Germany is the biggest rail transport company.

In the past the planning of locomotives and drivers were two separate activities. In order to improve this, Ab Ovo was asked to integrate these activities into one user friendly yet advanced planning system resulting in the development and implementation of the Cargo Traction Planning (CTP) system based on Quintiq technology. With CTP the  planning is completely integrated without changing the current planning process, the round trip locomotive planning is fully supported and labor regulations, track knowledge, locomotive knowledge and other possible constraints are taken into account.

Jürgen Beygang (Leiter Traktionsplanung und Konsolidierung) said: “Because of the CTP system the planning of locomotives has become more flexible. As a result of this, changes can be carried out much more effectively.”
