New IVU personnel control centre at DSB in the deployment

Berlin/Copenhagen, 4 September 2024 | Danish State Railways (DSB) is the first customer to successfully put IVU Traffic Technologies AG's personnel control centre into operation and is now using the IT solution for efficient personnel deployment.

DSB already uses IVU.rail, the integrated IT solution for rail transport companies, to plan and dispatch all vehicles in Copenhagen's urban rail transport system. In order to further standardise the system landscape, DSB is now using the Berlin software company's new personnel control centre for the first time to manage all duty scheduling and personnel allocation. With the vehicle and personnel control centre, DSB uses the full portfolio of the complete IVU.rail solution.

Thomas Gordon Clausen, Head of Current Operations at DSB: "With IVU.rail, we have successfully mastered the transition from many individual systems to a uniform solution and can now harmonise our planning and scheduling processes across the entire network. The introduction of the personnel control centre was a decisive step in securing future planning requirements and developing DSB's control centre into a showcase model.”

"The commissioning was very professional and we were able to maintain the punctuality levels as usual," adds Oliver Grzegorski, Managing Director Rail at IVU Traffic Technologies. "Together with IVU, DSB wants to establish the best rail control centre on the market. We are continuously working on improvements to make rail operation even more efficient and to enable more flexible utilisation of trains and train crews.“
