Support with DiB test management
DB Netz AG
Berlin, January 2020 to December 2022
TMS
Efficient test planning and execution, involving all DB stakeholders as well as manufacturers.
DB Netz AG is working on the specification, development and approval of an integrated system for the standardised operation and monitoring of interlocking technology within the scope of the project Design-integrated Operator Station (DiB). NEXTRAIL is supporting DB Netz AG in developing, optimising and documenting procedures and processes.
This also includes the introduction and application of standardised test procedures, as well as integration in the corresponding tool environment according to the EN5012x series of standards. Thanks to its many years of testing experience in the areas of functionality and network access, NEXTRAIL was able to implement the client’s requirements and was entrusted with further tasks as part of the project. In addition, NEXTRAIL was also involved in additional projects, such as the development of the test concept for the Hamburg S-Bahn project.

Special features
The particular challenges of this project are the establishment and coordination of processes and procedures across multiple manufacturers. This applies both to the tool chains used and to the underlying test concept and its implementation. In the course of this, NEXTRAIL benefited from a diverse set of experiences working with a wide range of project partners, which was shared with the client in the DiB project.
