PALO ALTO, Calif. and MUNICH, Germany — TIBCO Software Inc. today announced that German railway operator Deutsche Bahn, a 15.7 billion Euro company that operates 5800 train stations throughout Germany, has deployed TIBCO’s business integration solutions to create a real-time information distribution system.
“Deutsche Bahn is forging ahead with across-the-board modernization measures, and this project represents one more step in the creation of high standards of service to benefit our customers,” said Wilhelm Meurer, head of Deutsche Bahn AG’s Station Competence Center.
The project — known as the Verkehrszentrale System Project — is using TIBCO solutions to integrate and manage a vast range of service, safety, cleanliness and traveler information as well as the information generated by facility management applications at individual stations on the network. The Verkehrszentrale system will co-ordinate this information and transfer mission-critical data to the relevant traffic center team. The solution has been deployed across stations on the Aachen line, including Aachen station itself. Eventually the system will be rolled out across Deutsche Bahn’s entire network.
“TIBCO is proud to help Deutsche Bahn offer world-class transportation in time for the 2006 World Cup,” said Vivek Ranadive, chairman and chief executive officer, TIBCO Software Inc. “Deutsche Bahn is the latest customer in the transportation and logistics market segment to turn to TIBCO for the type of specialized integration expertise needed for safe, successful and rapid project completion.”
