Data Overview
In order to obtain optimal and efficient rail vehicle planning and management, it is important to consider various aspects (daily, traffic-specific, partnership, regional and resource-related). This includes detailed planning on a daily basis to ensure that vehicles are deployed efficiently according to the day’s operations. In addition, planning per traffic is necessary to organise and deploy vehicles according to demand.
Planning on a partnership basis is also important to coordinate co-operation and ensure that vehicle resources are optimally utilised. In addition, regional planning and resource-related planning is required to take into account the specific requirements and characteristics of individual regions and to ensure efficient vehicle utilisation
