5550 HaCon has won the contract for EVAplus, a large-scale 5344 Deutsche Bahn (DB) project which will see complete remodeling of the integration of the German operator’s timetable data.

Over the two-year project period, the Train Planning System TPS will develop the data hub further, which contains and validates the timetable data of all transport companies in Germany and finally stores it in the existing timetable information system HAFAS. This data hub, the TPS Integrator, will be enhanced as an integration tool to unite all kinds of different passenger timetable data, including DB-long-distance, regional- and local transport as well as regional buses and trains and the entire European transport.
