Rail Operations

Rail Operators face a variety of challenges when planning, staffing, moving and controlling trains. On the one hand, they need to follow legal requirements and regulations. On the other hand, they need to guarantee personal safety and maintain the quality of their assets and the environment. The special characteristics of the railway system also place particular requirements on operations planning. 

Find out more about how to use the route, the rolling stock and crews in the most effective way to implement a safe and successful rail operations management. Our trainings in this area cover the principles of rail operations and the various activities, equipment and processes involved. Learn about key topics such as rules and requirements for constructing and operating the railway and look at different types of railway operation systems.
