ESTONIAN RAILWAYS
The goal of the project is to develop a solution that includes at least the following elements :
• Integrated long-term and short-term digital timetable planning ( the timetabling system ).
• Train traffic incident management system with performed timetable functionality ( the Traffic Management System ( TMS )).
• Integration to existing third-party interlocking through the interface provided by the Contracting Authority .
• Performed timetable analysis and statistical reports .
The scope of the work covers design , development , supply , procurement , implementation , and testing alongside the handover of timetabling , traffic control and management , and a top-level CTC system , in accordance with the minimal requirements as stated for this technical specification .
The project started in 2019 with procurement preparatory tasks ( Requests for Information and the composition of the Technical Specification ). On June 30th , 2020 , the contract was signed , with actual works commencing following a brief mobilisation phase in September 2020 .
Today , the very first stage of the contract – the design stage – is over , and the contractor is developing and testing the functionalities and integrations of the system . The works have been split into 4 consecutive releases to be implemented until the end of the contract , in June 2027 . Each release will provide an agreed amount of the system ’ s functionalities , accompanied by integrations to existing and upcoming CTC and auxiliary systems ( power grid SCADA , Hot-Box detectors , etc ). The system will be a single source of truth for train traffic accuracy and traffic forecast data – and this information will be available for both internal and external stakeholders and users .
