Plateway has assisted several railway organisations and customers to assess and optimise the rail transport system capacity for both freight and urban passenger operations. 

 

These work packages have involved the deployment of our in-house developed cost modelling software as well as the OpenTrack and Viriato operational modelling software tools to test different rollingstock options, infrastructure asset configurations and investment scenarios. 

 

Our capability has been created to emulate the application of the Swiss Transport Planning process, which includes:

· Assessment of all project costs and benefits (including system capacity and transit time);

· Consideration and optimisation of all affected stakeholder groups (including passenger and freight customers); and

· Communications to facilitate stakeholder discussion.
