Railway undertakings should have fair and equal access to the Swiss rail network. We are responsible for the impartial planning, allocation and optimisation of usage rights (train paths) for the standard-gauge rail network.
Our objectives are
Equal treatment of all applicants
- We guarantee non-discriminatory use of the network by ensuring transparent train path planning and by handling, resolving and deciding on train path conflicts impartially.
Optimisation of rail network capacity utilisation
- We resolve path conflicts by working with our customers and partners to develop solutions, so that as many of the requested trains as possible can run under the best possible conditions.
Consistent customer focus
- We contribute to making rail more attractive through practical processes and path offers tailored to market needs.
High quality of service
- We support every single user of the rail network in line with their needs, from planning right through to the allocation of train paths.
Efficient processes
- We are committed to the market-oriented and efficient further development and international harmonisation of train path planning and allocation processes, as well as other issues that are essential to network usage.
