Smart Mobility
We see our customers as partners and value customer-focused, comprehensive solutions that allow companies to successfully break new ground.
Together with mobility service providers, we develop a strategy for the effective use of technology. We take into account the existing infrastructure as well as the future market environment and current trends, such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS), door-to-door travel planning, new means of transport (e-mobility, drones) or automated driving, whether on the road or rail (smartrail4.0).
The Swiss road network must withstand the highest loads. It is therefore essential to constantly improve the capacity utilisation of the existing infrastructure without endangering traffic and operational safety. With our services in the field of information and communication technology as well as classic control technology, we support the project planning, procurement and implementation of operating and safety equipment (BSA), traffic management systems (VLS, VI, VDE, V-TV, PUN, ED), IoT architectures & systems and specialist applications for the higher-level management and control of the entire road system.
With the constantly growing number of passengers in public transport, the increasing demands on the existing railway infrastructure and the technological advances in automation, the demands on the use of information and communication technologies are growing. More frequent connections at maximum network utilization are required, as is economical and secure operation with continuous monitoring of the existing infrastructure. As an independent Swiss consulting company and expert in information technology and control technology, Eraneos guarantees the successful use of ICT in public transport.

An important component for the national data infrastructure Mobility
«Strasse und Verkehr» - the traffic data platform of the Canton of Zurich (2021/01)
Our desire for more mobility is causing an increase in the volume of traffic. This leads to growing congestion on the road infrastructure and the associated increase in energy consumption as well as other ecological problems. With the traffic data platform «Verkehr Online», the Canton of Zurich provides road traffic data in the Zurich traffic area and thus delivers a building block for the national mobility data infrastructure. Services and applications that aim to harmonise the flow of traffic on roads or multimodal mobility can build on this.
Read the technical article by Rolf Münger, Eraneos Group; K. Christoph Graf, EBP Switzerland and Kurt Amstad, Civil Engineering Office of the Canton of Zurich, about the effects of increasing traffic and how this can be counteracted.

Simply with the best means of transport
Published
The demand for mobility in Switzerland is high and increasing, so that new solutions are needed to cope with it. New mobility offers can contribute to this, but they first make the world more complicated from the user's point of view. As much as it is worth learning from others, new concepts need to be tested and adapted in the specific Swiss circumstances to enable an optimal overall mobility system in terms of efficiency, safety and ecology.

ICT in the Gotthard Base Tunnel
Eraneos KNOWLEDGE (2., 2016/06)
Today, complex processes and plants are mostly controlled and monitored by means of control systems (e.g. production control systems, building control systems, operational control systems, traffic control systems). Compared to other IT systems, control systems must be designed for a long life cycle (typically over 10 years). However, the reality is often different: Control systems often have to be replaced after only a few years of operation because they are technologically obsolete and no longer meet the requirements.

New age in digital traffic management
Published
Road and Traffic (2015/03)
Since May last year, the new traffic management application has been running productively on the IT systems of the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO). In collaboration with the various cantonal police forces and Viasuisse, the new specialist application enables the Swiss Traffic Management Centre in Emmenbrücke (VMZ-CH) to exchange traffic information in a standardised and efficient manner. Road users benefit from timely information and smooth traffic flow.

Requirements Engineering - decisive for project success
Eraneos KNOWLEDGE (2013/09)
Wherever it is a question of turning a goal into reality by means of a project, one has to deal with requirements. It is important to take into account the relevant needs of all stakeholders and the given framework conditions and to document them in a meaningful way.
Traffic management on national roads
Published
Road traffic Switzerland (2013/01)
Since the beginning of 2008, the Federal Roads Office Astra has been operating the Swiss Traffic Management Centre (VMZ-CH) in Emmenbrücke. It ensures an optimal flow of traffic on the national roads. With the sub-project "Integrated Applications", a comprehensive IT system is to be developed, with the support of which VMZ-CH will be able to centrally and efficiently influence traffic on the national roads from 2014.
Effectively protecting Swiss road infrastructures against electronic threats
Published
Road and Traffic (2012/09)
As part of the "System Architecture Switzerland" project, FEDRO is renewing and networking the control technology for the operational and safety equipment of the entire national road network. All traffic management systems on the Swiss national roads will thus be centrally controllable. In addition to clear advantages, however, increasing electronification and networking also harbours new dangers.
Building automation and IT - sharing resources
Eraneos KNOWLEDGE (2012/03)

Service-Oriented Architectures - From Hype to Reality
Eraneos KNOWLEDGE (2011/09)
The failures of the past are lingering: Some organisations are reluctant to invest in SOA. Against this background, it is important to take a closer look at the reasons for the failure of SOA projects. It is striking that large, comprehensive projects in particular often fail. In most cases, a lot of money was invested in an overly complex infrastructure that was subsequently used insufficiently, if it functioned properly at all, to generate benefits that were commensurate with the costs.

Control technology - Everything under control?
Eraneos KNOWLEDGE (2004/09)
Today, complex processes and plants are mostly controlled and monitored by means of control systems (e.g. production control systems, building control systems, operational control systems, traffic control systems). Compared to other IT systems, control systems must be designed for a long life cycle (typically over (typically over 10 years). However, the reality is often different looks different: Control systems often have to be replaced after just a few years of operation because they are technologically obsolete and no longer meet the requirements. no longer meet the requirements.
