Strategy and concepts
Developing competitive technology strategies to plan and define effective measures to strengthen existing and new rail infrastructure.
Highest level of expertise in formulating technology strategies and feasibility studies. Ensuring that planning, activities and measures strictly contribute to defined objectives.
A precisely thought-out technology strategy from the outset is an important success factor for transformation processes in the railway sector. Mostly driven by considerations to increase capacity on existing track infrastructure – while at the same time optimising investment and maintenance costs over the entire life cycle. NEXTRAIL advises you on all aspects of technology management in signalling technology. With the best references and in-depth track and vehicle know-how from national and international lighthouse projects. From conception to the detailed design of strategies, processes and methods.

Our services in the area of strategy and concepts:
A technology strategy needs a vision. An economic and technical vision. In the form of a system master plan or in the form of use cases that describe the functional requirements for the operational execution of railway operations and the systems required for this purpose. In this context, NEXTRAIL compares the required operational scenarios and strategic objectives with the requirements profile for the systems.
As part of the feasibility study, NEXTRAIL analyses system construction plans and use cases with regard to their feasibility. Risk factors are identified and the chances of success estimated. A detailed examination spanning all technical areas is then carried out to determine whether the envisaged solution approach can be used to achieve the project objectives under the specified framework conditions. And where it makes sense to show which measures can be used to significantly improve the result.
The advantages of the feasibility study:
- Avoiding risks and bad investments
- Identification of the optimal solution
It is only in exceptional cases, such as new lines, that a target can be directly implemented in the area of railway infrastructure. As a rule, the gradual migration of control and safety technology – some instances of which are decades old – is the prerequisite for achieving the desired target. No two existing systems are identical in detail. Based on its many years of expertise in the migration of system architectures in the rail sector, NEXTRAIL is able to implement transformation processes in phases at different times and geographic locations.
