Eurostar, whose high-speed trains connect London, Paris, Brussels, Rotterdam and Amsterdam through the Channel Tunnel, transported 10.3 million passengers in 2017.
Eurostar train services and performance director Philippe Dabancourt said: “We needed a solution that could plan across all time horizons and be configured for multiple sets of rules and regulations.
“It also had to be something that our planners, both in rostering and maintenance, could use intuitively, so support of multiple languages and different time zones was crucial.”
Dassault Systèmes, along with its partner Ordina, charted a two-part solution to help Eurostar.
