Abstract

The traffic management is the core of the railway operations control technology. It receives the timetable information as a target definition and advises the command control and signaling systems to execute the rail traffic. Hence the traffic management system (TMS) has to take into account many sources of requests towards the traffic operation e.g. coming from the maintenance planning or the power supply system and to optimize the operation with respect to many criteria as e.g. punctuality, energy consumption, capacity and infrastructure wear. This chapter shows the sources of information for the TMS as well the resulting criteria. The final approach to configure a specific has to be done with respect to a specific application.
