German transportation specialist 8275 IVU Traffic Technologies is to supply its IVU.rail software to Transdev Sverige, the Swedish branch of global transport company Transdev, which will use the software to plan all rail franchises’ trains as of December 2016.

IVU.rail will be implemented for the planning and dispatch of all of Transdev Sverige’s trains, on time for the timetable changes planned for later this year.

IVU.rail enables for planners to create efficient timetables, vehicle working and run schedules. Automatic suggestions and a freely configurable rule system accelerate planning. In the process, the system takes service intervals and train units into account, as well as track and depot capacities. Dispatchers receive all important information about the current operating situation, and can therefore react swiftly to disruptions.
