DZSF project: Capacity-optimised construction and maintenance work in the current rail network

Construction work in the rail network is often poorly coordinated, slowing down trains and, as a result, leading to capacity losses in railway transport. Against this backdrop, the German Centre for Rail Traffic Research (DZSF) has initiated a project with the support of the University of Passau to develop solutions for a more coordinated implementation and more effective planning of construction work.
