We have changed our phone number!
After a long wait, trenolab finally has a new broadband internet connection! Unfortunately, we were forced to change our landline number.
The new number is +39 0481 286430. We hope to hear from you soon!
trenolab
With the same passion and care of a carpenter giving shape to wood, trenolab blends big data analysis, sophisticated simulation, remarkable experience and passion to develop effective solutions for improving railway operations.
Our highly skilled team of transport, railway and computer experts combine professional experience with the latest findings from academic research. In only a few years we have become a worldwide leader in operations planning for all types of rail-based transport from metros to high-speed lines, for projects ranging from day-to-day operations to long-term planning.
Come and meet usOur services
trenolab’s core business is helping railways optimise the quality of their operations. From long-term infrastructure planning to short-term timetable adjustments, we support railway operating companies, public authorities and infrastructure managers in planning efficient and robust timetables for purposes including schedule optimisation, infrastructure planning, franchise development and concession bids.

How we work
We use the “Planning Loop” approach to provide highly accurate results. The Planning Loop consists of analysing current operations, creating timetable planning scenarios, developing and validating simulation models, using the models to assess alternatives, and analysing the results.
Analysis
The first step in the planning process is to understand real operations by analysing aggregated operational data, such as station passing times, track circuit data, on-board train monitoring and ticketing data. This analysis provides a vast series of diagrams and statistics for further analysis including the identification of disturbances and critical points. This analysis often suggests simple improvements to increase system performance.

TRENOplus is a powerful timetable planning tool developed from scratch to take maximum advantage of the latest research in network analysis modelling and algorithms. It integrates a macroscopic model and the trenissimo microscopic model into a package that supports users in estimating running times for use in planning timetables and infrastructure at different levels of detail.

Understanding the processes and dynamics of real operations is a key factor for successful railway planning. Even the best planned timetables can show unsatisfactory reliability when put into operation. TRENOanalysis identifies, measures and visualizes the causes and impacts of delays or real railway traffic and thereby helps planners develop effective measures to maximise service quality.
