RNE Train Information System (TIS, formerly EUROPTIRAILS)

The need for mobility and flexibility across Europe of both goods and people is steadily increasing.



What is RNE Train Information System (TIS)?
TIS supports international train management by delivering real-time train data concerning international passenger and freight trains. So you can follow the complete train run of an international train via TIS across European borders. Thanks to its reporting function, TISalso serves as a source of information for international quality analysis as EPR (European Performance Regime) and corridor-oriented TPM (Train Performance Management). The relevant train data is processed directly from the Infrastructure Managers’ systems.
Thanks to the TIS system, problems due to different national processes (for international trains) not fitting together at the border have been detected. TIS-based information makes the detection of these problems possible.

The TIS data exchange function is being used by some IMs as a pilot for TAF TSI implementation. The TIS data exchange will be adapted to TAF TSI needs in 2010 and will be used for the pilot for the TAF TSI Common Components.

At the moment, ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) is based on simple time shifting. Therefore RNE has carried out a study to improve the quality for the ETA based on TIS data. The results are promising and a function based on TIS data has been developed, providing a better ETA. It is planned to pilot this function in TIS in 2011.

• supports traffic management on a high level
• monitors international trains from origin to destination on the involved IMs network
• information source for international quality analysis and Train Performance Management

The four main functions provided by RNE Train Information System (TIS) are:

• TIS Real - Time Information
• TIS Data Exchange Functions
• TIS Reporting Functions
• TIS EPR Functions (European Performance Regime)
