The Rhaetian Railway (RhB) is constructing an approximately two kilometer long crossing point along the St. Moritz-Tirano line. Within this stretch, three level crossings are secured solely with St. Andrew's crosses. As a prerequisite for planning approval, RhB is tasked with demonstrating the ongoing safety of these level crossings. The federal go...

We are already managing exciting projects in Germany and enjoy the trust of customers such as Deutsche Bahn, Verkehrsgesellschaft Frankfurt am Main and Stadtwerke München. ASE GmbH operates independently and will help us to realise further projects in Germany. For our customers, this step is a sign of stability, customer proximity and appreciation.

The evaluation of existing video images enables Südostbahn to continuously adapt its trains to the needs of travellers. Like many Swiss railways, Südostbahn (SOB) faces the challenge of catering to diverse passenger demographics, ranging from commuters and day trippers to tourists. The varying needs of each customer segment necessitate flexible arr...

We are thrilled to announce the successful collaboration with the Bundesamt für Strassen (ASTRA) in the development and implementation of a specialized application. This application revolutionizes the inventory management, condition recording, and maintenance planning of all essential operating and safety equipment (BSA) vital for the seamless func...

The Pedestrian Analytics System fulfils the data protection requirements (GDPR) by processing the data on-premise and in real time and only anonymised count data is sent, further bicycles or pieces of luggage can be also counted.We are proud of the successful cooperation with DB and are very happy to contribute to sustainable mobility. Th...

Precise measurement at every location The pedestrian flow system is already operating in Bern, Zurich Hardbrücke, Basel SBB and Lenzburg stations. The crucial success factor is the use of the most efficient hardware at the right location as well as the intelligent evaluation algorithms of the system. Several factors, such as the incidence of light,...

Deutsche Bahn intends to massively expand its range of services over the next ten years. This project includes a number of infrastructure projects which will mainly contribute to increasing line capacity. The improved safety system ETCS/ERMTS will help to achieve this goal, while the lines will be upgraded to four lanes and ageing rolling stock wil...

The safety proof developed by ASE was accepted by the FOT as basis for the project approval without reservation. Rhaetian Railway obtained planning permission and is able to begin with construction work on time. ASE extends their congratulations on the start of construction and hopes altogether for a smooth realisation of the building works.

Unified labeling of equipment is a key and complex challenge in ensuring numerous tasks in the life cycle of the facilities. The equipment must be described correctly according to FEDRO regulations when it is replaced or installed. This process is complex and involves a great deal of effort on the part of engineers and planning offices. FEDRO recog...

Improving passenger comfort at railway stations is a central issue worldwide. As part of an innovation project, Deutsche Bahn is testing the digital signage solution "Intelligente Bahnsteigkante" at the Bad Cannstatt S-Bahn station in Stuttgart. ASE investigated the effect of this solution on passenger flows. Are railway customers waiting on the pl...

The ASE solution is based on crowd monitor sensors that are installed in and around the platform. These measure passenger flows in real time and detect potentially unsafe situations as they arise. Thanks to its intelligent algorithms and alarm functionality, the system can alert crowd control staff at the station or in the Securtity Operations Cent...

ASE calculates planning scenarios with state-of-the-art simulation techniques and census data, multimodal. Improved planning information is available when combining simulation and high-precision sensor. In public transportation, operators can profit from improved transport services and increase comfort and customer experience.

Optimal planning of the future train station Basel SBB thanks to ASE's visualizations and analysis

For the future, customer experience, comfort and safety considerations are essential for metro system optimization. Therefore, designs of specific stations will be analyzed in the current project. People density, perception and passenger behavior are gathered with ASE's state-of-the-art Pedestrian Analytics Systems. New metro stations will be desig...

The safety certificates are part of the project planning and the planning approving procedure for railway projects. ASE certifies that the public facilities can be operated safely in view of the expected passenger volume in the future. The analysis includes all system components of a station which are intended for the handling of passenger flows. I...

SBB relies on ASE's cutting-edge tracking system. It establishes a significant data basis, enabling the specialists of the SBB to review existing figures. Thereby, new interrelations and insights within the following areas are gained: Pedestrian flows at access pointsMotion patterns at the platformsTrajectories (speed and direction)DensitiesCrossin...

Jessica Weibel (ETH Zurich) has written her master thesis concerning this topic in collaboration with ASE. Her thesis deals with machine learning algorithms that can be used to optimize the predictions regarding the utilization of platforms at Amsterdam Zuid station. Want to know more? Contact us now.

Since April 2019, PAS delivers fundamental data for pedestrian behavior evaluation in Tampines. Based on captured data, counts serve for future pedestrian simulations, and a calibrated social force model is available for optimized simulation behavior. Next step in the successful story of ASE in Asia.
