Improved Planning and Scheduling to Reduce Costs

SJ rail in Sweden operates 1,400 daily departures serving 291 stations with 4,600 employees.

Background

SJ Sweden implemented Trapeze as the production tool for timetable planning, construction and publishing.

The scope of the system was to support both short-term planning, which was previously undertaken manually, and long-term planning, which had previously been done in a legacy mainframe.

Results

• Replacement of a costly legacy mainframe
• Improved data consistency and availability
• Enhanced control and standardisation of external interfaces
