Consulting & Engineering
Rail systems consulting and technical troubleshooting
Looking at vehicle, track, power supply, operations and maintenance together – especially where standard solutions stop working.
Does this match your situation?
Setting the direction early, even where no standard solution fits.
OSK-Consult supports the development and selection of technical solutions – and works in particular where several disciplines, different rule books or conflicting requirements have to be brought together.
- Why does a measure not yet solve the underlying problem?
- Which vehicle–track interactions matter here?
- Which option is technically sound and operationally manageable?
Scope of services
What OSK-Consult takes on.
The individual elements are agreed to suit the question at hand.
- Analysis of complex and deadlocked technical problems
- System view of vehicle, track and operations
- Development and comparison of technical options

- Investigation of interfaces between vehicle, track and operations
- Technical clarification and further development of proposed solutions
- Identification of technical risks and knock-on effects
Working together
From the question to the findings.
Agree the question
Capture the problem, the constraints and the disciplines involved.
Carry out the work
Investigate the interactions and develop technically suitable routes to a solution.
Explain the findings
Agree options, effects and the next steps with you.
Systems consulting works towards a solution. Where the independent assessment of damage or of a claim comes first, that is the assessment side of the practice.
In control-command and signalling, OSK-Consult supports conceptual questions and the interfaces with the overall system. Detailed engineering is handled by specialists from the network.
Technical context
Your contact
Hands-on railway experience and work on national and international projects form the background to the technical judgement.
