Monitoring studies into the feasibility of customer aspirations
Railway undertakings and other organisations with an interest in running rail may ask the infrastructure manager to check new service plans for their technical feasibility. We monitor these studies and ensure that they are both free of discrimination and properly done without generating additional effort for the applicants.
Support for commissioning a study
The infrastructure manager must be supplied with a number of pieces of information before he can undertake a study into the technical feasibility of new service plans. We help the party asking for the study to prepare the remit for the study in that we check the information for completeness.
trasse.ch makes no charge to the party asking for the study for either of the two activities above.
Monitoring the reservation of capacity
Railway undertakings may agree the reservation of track capacity for periods extending beyond one timetable with infrastructure managers. If infrastructure managers offer these "framework agreements", we ensure that all railway undertakings are treated in the same way and that there is no discrimination either in the negotiations or follow through.
Checking and publishing train path catalogues
The infrastructure managers draw up an annual train path catalogue for freight traffic over the heavily used North-South axes. The train paths shown in the catalogue help applicants to prepare their applications. They are based on marked requirements and take account of the capacity currently available. We check and publish these train path catalogues.
