TMS = Traffic Management System
Replacement of the existing system NeTS for the handling of track requests with TMS, that is based on European standards with an open and modular architecture, introduced in various releases.
Overview
TMS basically covers the communication between RUs and infrastructure managers (IM) in the context of the TAF/TAP TSI Standard.
TMS
- is a new track ordering tool based on TAF/TAP TSI Standards (TTT)
- allows the transmission of track request through TTT standard interfaces
- provides web-based access the modules of TMS
- takes into account the replacement of the RU-RU partner provided in the past by SBB Infrastructure through an automated solution based on the TTT standard (RU-RU communication = R2P)
Expectations
Basic
- Replacement of NeTS
- Introduction of TTT Standard in Switzerland
- Digitalization of shunting operations
- Automation of track construction
Sustainability
- future oriented approach
- standardised
- expandable, basis for future releases
Architecture
The concept is based on the elements of the TAF/TAP TSI Standards and uses
- Identification
- Objects
- Data Elements
- Master Data
- Messages
- and the Common Interface (CI)
TMS is based on modules. For each module exist adapters and gateway interfaces as well as a web-based access.
The following modules will be implemented
- Track Ordering (today NeTS AVIS)
- Customer Information Delivery (today ZIS)
- Capacity Planning (today FPS)
- Operative Capacity Management (today RCS)
- Formation (today FOS)
- Train Departure Control (today ZIS AK)
- Invoice (today Iprix)
- RU-RU Communikation R2P (new)
TMS Release 1
Release 1 of TMS introduces capacity management and is called Capacity Management Release 1 = CM1.
It provides the following objects:
- the Reference Train Object
- the Route Object
- the Path Object
TMS Subsequent Releases
Subsequent releases (CM2, etc.) of TMS are not yet detailed and have to be specified. The following topics will be considered
- Shunting
- Parking
- Node Planning
