Siemens Mobility has completed the acquisition of Optrail S.r.l., an Italian-based technology company, that provides unique algorithms for Traffic Management Systems – TMS – based on mathematical optimization methods and operations research. The acquisition complements Siemens Mobility’s existing Train Planning System – TPS – portfolio and strengthens its position as a leading supplier of software solutions to rail customers. Optrail will remain based in Rome, Italy, and its technology will be integrated into Hacon’s existing TPS products. Hacon, a Siemens Company, is based in Hanover, Germany, and an essential part of Siemens Mobility’s software unit.

Optrail’s core product provides real-time conflict resolution by integrating optimization algorithms. This drives TPS beyond the traditional sequential meet-and-pass planning towards the automated optimization of dispatching across entire rail networks. Thanks to highly efficient algorithms, necessary adjustments to operations can be processed within seconds. Optrail is already enabling a large North American rail and network operator to optimize and automate the dispatching across its complete rail network, achieving significant operating improvements.
