TÜV SÜD Schweiz AG
Complete Railway System Services
Complete railway system services require a holistic in-depth knowledge of the entire railway system with all its subsystems including infrastructure, rolling stock and signalling, as well as experience in operation and maintenance. Authorities, train operating companies and infrastructure managers need to ensure that both traditional and modern technologies are correctly and safely integrated across the complete rail system. Each subsystem must operate safely and reliably alone as well as part of a complete system. Besides technical safety, further aspects such as operational safety and cyber security must be understood to ensure overall safety.
WHY IS THE SAFETY OF COMPLETE RAILWAY SYSTEMS SO IMPORTANT?
Conducting overall train and railroad safety assessment provides you with multiple benefits including:
- Ensuring that all subsystems work safely and reliably alone and when combined as complete systems
- Ensuring compliance by taking all requirements into account
- Minimising risks by addressing safety issues as early as possible
- Saving time and money by avoiding costly and time-consuming delays and rework
