2004 – July – Traffic Management System – ILTIS

ILTIS is a traffic-management system (TMS) which integrates all the essential functions required for the management of a railway network. Its main focus is to simplify all aspects of railway management (from ergonomic operator input to the optimization of the track reserveration periods), resulting in a consistent level of punctuality with train services. As ILTIS was conceived from the beginning as a totally integrated system (and not as a loosely coupled collection of independent systems), there is a great synergy between all of its components. An integrated system also benefits from the simplification of a control center's infrastructure and significantly reduces operating and maintenance costs. ILTIS consists of a network of several computers, which can be tailored to satisfy each customer's individual requirements. It provides a 24 x 7 service with a built-in redundancy that avoids system outages due to hardware faults that may occur.
