Program description (Dispo)

The planning of the rolling stock utilisation and the creation of efficient circulation plans is of major importance for train operating companies, as the cost for rolling stock is high, whether it is used or not. The planning strategy for rolling stock needs to include all revenue services as well as cleaning and maintenance intervals. The dependable forecast of the rolling stock requirements is used for the design of stabling facilities and yards.

Dispo is a software tool that supports the graphical and interactive planning of rolling stock utilisation and creation of circulation plans. The software efficiency and the intelligent functionality enable the planner to create and optimise several variants for each planning task. The cost comparison of the variants highlights the most efficient solution.

Dispo supports all aspects of fleet management from long term planning to the adjustment of daily schedules. Opportunities for savings and efficiency increase become apparent, which cannot be identified without software solutions.
