RAILWAY CONSULTANT SERVICES

ICS provides a range of railway consultant services including feasibility studies, quality management, project management, project planning, data preparation for signalling systems, and commissioning.

The problems which we as a development partner, often to the same degree as our customers, have to face when implementing complex product developments are repeatedly similar. Due to these requirements, which were initially project-specific ones, ICS has created tools that are capable of solving these problems efficiently in the long run.

With SYMTES®, we have created a product that is specially designed for the complex requirements we encounter during the test and simulation of distributed systems.

ICS also makes NAPAS®, an unbelievably powerful network and application protocol analyser, available to our customers.

ICS AG provides its customers with a full service relating to these tools. Our professionals support our customers throughout the overall project and provide the best confidence possible. We also supply a complete and cost-effective solution on schedule.

We also work with electronic interlocking systems and their components of various constructive forms and manufacturers. We have experience of working with supervision and control systems, and automatic train control systems (LZB/PZB).
