Interfaces integrate icRail with other data sinks and sources and allow a seamless integration of the planning process beyond system boundaries.
Challenges
Planning of movements and/or standings of your logistics resources (e.g. locomotives, freight wagons) probably takes place in specific and sophisticated planning tools. Planning information about these resources can be provided automatically to icRail through interfaces.
Solution
icRail provides various interfaces to planning systems.
FAMOS / NeTS
Import of tracks from the system NeTS of SBB Infrastruktur.
Details
With the Netzweiten Trassensystem NeTS SBB provides a high level instrument for precise time table construction, track planning, track ordering and coordination.

RailML®
Export of tracks, trips and train compositions based on RailML Standard
Details
railML® is an open-source railway markup language designed to facilitate seamless communication among diverse railway applications.
The data structure of the railML® interface is based on the XML language. It is described using the widely supported and standardised XML schema definition language (XSD) which allows syntactic validation and generation of parser code.
A wide range of extensive computer programmes exist for railroad planning processes. In today’s world, connecting various railway software packages often presents significant challenges. railML® offers an XML-based solution for simplifying data exchange between railway applications.
