its IT systems at the service of international rail
2004: European railway IT landscape a patchwork of already-existing but
perhaps under-used software tools
Therefore one of RNE’s main tasks since 2004 has been to:
■ refine and develop these tools
■ improve digital information flows concerning international rail traffic
■ make them seamless
■ align IT tools with emerging EU-wide standards such as TAP/TAF TSIs
