Stuttgart commuter railway chooses IVU.rail

Berlin/Stuttgart, 1 December 2020 | A standardised system for efficient processes: From now on, the Stuttgart commuter railway (S-Bahn) will be carrying out integrated planning and dispatch for all of its trains and staff using the standard solution IVU.rail from Berlin-based IT specialist IVU Traffic Technologies. This means that another commuter railway operated by market leader DB Regio has successfully introduced the integrated planning and dispatch system (iPD) from IVU.

The commuter railway has been transporting the residents of the Greater Stuttgart area to their destination reliably and safely since 1978. The Stuttgart commuter railway has been a distinct entity with comprehensive competences within DB Regio AG since 2002 and stands for modern, punctual and, first and foremost, customer-friendly transport. In order to ensure that these services continue in future, too, the Stuttgart commuter railway is now carrying out integrated planning and dispatch of its more than 150 railcars and around 500 employees using the products of IVU.rail.

In particular, the Stuttgart commuter railway will benefit from the seamless process chains from planning to dispatch that these provide. For example, duty scheduling automatically maps all the changes that planners make to vehicle schedules. Mean­while, vehicle dispatch shows the available trains as well as track occupancy plans for the Stuttgart commuter railway and detects any disruptions. In future, all processes will be supported by a sophisticated suggestion system – including in staff dispatch: IVU.rail automatically suggests suitable services for train drivers and service personnel. At the same time, the system also takes all legal, collective agreement and technical requirements into account.

“The seamless combination of all data and areas of work in IVU.rail makes our processes significantly more efficient, saving us time and costs,” said Siegmund Freitag, Head of Production Planning for the Stuttgart commuter railway. “Thanks to the great dedication of our employees, we carried out the system changeover quickly and successfully together with IVU despite the current situation.”

“We are delighted to take another customer from the framework contract with DB Regio into operation in the form of the Stuttgart commuter railway,” said Oliver Grzegorski, Head of Rail Business at IVU Traffic Technologies. “Now five regions, two Regio networks and four commuter railways from DB Regio AG are already using iPD to plan and dispatch all their trains as well as their mobile staff in a standardised system – a major success for the joint project team from DB Regio and IVU!”
