A WIDE RANGE OF SOLUTIONS,
OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE IN SIMULATION

RAILWAYS

In railway engineering, LIFT activities are focused on operations (a central issue in railway planning and design) which are the result of a complex interaction of infrastructure and signalling, rolling stock and timetable. This interaction is further complicated by a number of human factors, other unpredictable phenomena and stochastic disturbances.
In particular LIFT performs:

• Railway operations analysis (from aggregated to more detailed level)
• Operations modelling and simulation

LIFT offers unparalleled experience in the micro-simulation of complex networks, with over 50 projects and some of the most complex stations, nodes and corridors in Europe and other continents.
Our wide range of consultancies involving railway operations includes:

Infrastructure Planning (investment testing)
Long-range and short-term definition and assessment of Infrastructure improvement measures.

Timetable Planning
We define drafts and compare scenarios using internationally-awarded stochastic models.

Timetable Stability / Punctuality Estimations
We assess the reliability of timetables ex-ante, and decide how many trains an infrastructure can carry with given punctuality rates.

Defining Temporary Timetables
i.e. during infrastructure improvement works.
