Within the framework of the Système Industriel de la Production des Horaires (SIPH) project, the integration of TPS aims at improving rail network efficiency and modernising timetable and train path management in France as well as meeting the needs of railway companies and their customers.

Bernard Clarissou, SNCF Réseau's head of service transformation, is well aware of the upcoming business challenges that include opening up to competition, the growing needs of rail operators in terms of service quality, the railways authorities' requirements as well as the European standardisation guidelines. "Today, TPS is the most successful and efficient solution available on the market, thanks to its integrated capacity management functionalities," said Clarissou.
