ZFM at a glance

Everything at a glance, everything from a single source. Simple provision of timetable documents, simple information, simple operation. The management of train movements supports train drivers in their daily work and is the basis for modern communication tools in the driver's cab.

Service information

The electronic management of train movements (ZFM) relies on real-time interaction with train drivers. This simplifies communication in everyday work and optimises operational processes. Within the framework of electronic management of train movements, train movement-relevant content

can be integrated into existing visualisations on the user side via the ZFM interface, or
be used by the chargeable visualisation application infraDOAS.

In order to optimise operational processes and improve handling at the driver's cab, electronic management of train movements enables the direct reference of electronic timetable documents for visualisation and application.

Train movement-relevant contents are electronic train-specific timetable documents. In addition, the electronic command will be offered from the working timetable period 2024.

Further contents in the electronic management of train movements

Electronic command

Simple and uncomplicated. Commands directly to the driver's cab. Electronic commands are part of the data made available via the ZFM interface. The electronic command replaces the written command that is common today.

AZL-Driving advice

Green wave at the driver's cab. Dynamic speed advice for smooth traffic, lower energy consumption and less wear and tear.

Ownership of the fallback level

Existing responsibilities, processes, agreements, interfaces for the procurement and internal distribution of train-specific timetable documents are neither changed nor replaced by the electronic management of train movements. The RU is responsible for ensuring a fallback solution. Here, content is available in the previous format as a PDF and as a print version. In the event of a failure of the electronic command transmission, it is up to the dispatcher to decide whether to transmit commands in written form or verbally.
