DB Fernverkehr: IVU.rail provides up-to-date timetable data for passengers and personnel
Berlin, 9 April 2025 | All your data from one single source - DB Fernverkehr (Long Distance Services) opts for IVU Traffic Technologies’ integrated IT solution IVU.rail for vehicle planning and dispatch.
DB Fernverkehr has enjoyed years of success utilising a wide range of applications from IVU's standardised IT solution. In July 2024, the Berlin-based software company unveiled yet another significant development: IVU.rail now forms a central source of all timetable data required for long-distance transport services provided by Deutsche Bahn. Not only does this cover scheduling and dispatch for vehicle operations, but it also includes data for providing connection information and booking passenger tickets on bahn.de and DB Navigator. The software achieves this by sending up-to-date timetable data regarding long-distance trains directly to the European Timetable Centre. Meanwhile, data is simultaneously forwarded to all other internal systems at DB Fernverkehr that use timetable planning.
"This latest advancement within IVU.rail relieves the need for tedious manual data management," says Nina Hutwagner, Head of Timetable Planning and Traffic Control at DB Fernverkehr. "Construction-related changes in particular are published faster and more consistently in our timetable media, which significantly improves our information flow."
"With our enhanced software solution, we continue to support DB Fernverkehr in streamlining and digitalising its processes," says André Shooman, Head of the Rail division at IVU Traffic Technologies AG. "Aside from ensuring enhanced data freshness for scheduling and dispatch operations, deploying IVU.rail also has a tangible impact on the product experience for rail customers.”
