Simulated planning reduces work and expenditure

With BEST operations and interlocking simulation, the interlocking is simulated in detail right from the early planning phases. All the interlocking functions, engineering variants, monitor images and the entire timetable are displayed together with the realistic running behaviour of trains. The operating interface is identical to the impression that the operators will find in their daily work. This provides the basis for functional and operational verification in a manufacturer-independent test environment. As soon as planning is completed, the sequence of operations is simulated and assessed – independent of the original interlocking.

Tested, uniform data improves quality

In addition, BEST offers the advantages of an integrated, electronic data management system that enables interfaces to be integrated in existing database systems and planning tools. Following completion of the planning work, all the data are exported in a defined format. If necessary, the interlocking manufacturer can work with the electronic data and receive a draft of the monitor images produced during the planning process. At the end of the planning stage, verified and validated plans of tested and confirmed quality are available.
