Hit Rail and AlmavivA have signed a strategic cooperation agreement to bring increased connectivity and high performance systems to the railway industry in the face of new European Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI) in both passenger and freight sectors.
The two companies have agreed to combine their expertise and work together where appropriate to deliver new systems for the rail industry. They will promote each other’s services as complementary and will market joint services to clients on a non-exclusive basis. AlmavivA will concentrate on the services of software development, systems hosting and running applications, while Hit Rail will provide connectivity and interoperability services and offer its deep understanding of the European rail environment and the legislation governing the industry.
Hit Rail has developed detailed knowledge of the TAF and TAP Regulations, the Common Interface and the messages exchanged between Railway Undertakings (RUs) and Infrastructure Managers (IMs). The two companies will work together on joint customer projects to develop, implement and test systems that enable compliance with the TAP and TAF Regulations.
The agreement follows the close cooperation established between the two companies in delivering a solution for Italian rail network operator RFI. Hit Rail b.v. and AlmavivA are working on the customer project, helping RFI to insource certain areas of the EU’s TAF regulation. The positive cooperation established on this project encouraged the two companies to move forward with a formal memorandum of understanding, that could see closer working links in the future.
