Renewal, expansion and further development of the engineering design tool NRV that is a Norwegian expansion of the software railOscope (raioscope.com) developed and supplied by TraflT (www.traflT.ch).
The procurement concerns continuation of the current license contract throughout 2021 with the possibility of extending for up to 5 years for the engineering design tool NRV that is a Norwegian expansion of the software railOscope (raioscope.com) developed and supplied by TraflT (www.traflT.ch). The ERMTS project has used the tool for engineering design in ERMTS, including import and export of the standardised file exchange format railML that will be used for exchanging basic data for engineering design. The tool is used to visualise and edit raiML files and the procurement is a continuation, development and adjustment of the tool, including license fees and support. The tool will also be used to analyse railway data.
TrafiIT Solutions gmbh is considered to be the sole supplier of the engineering design tool NRV, which is a Norwegian extension of the software railoscope (railoscope.com).(railoscope.com). The tool is further developed by the Norwegian Railway Directorate and Bane NOR. There is no equivalent solution in the market that has support for railM2.4nor, a Norwegian expansion of the standardised format railML2.4. It will also be important that a future tool has the possibility of a Norwegian expansion in the future if there is data that cannot be distributed directly in the standardised format. NRV already has support for a railML3.1nor version, a Norwegian expansion of the railML3.1 format. The tool must also support current and future versions of the railML format from railml.org.
Another important functionality in the tool is the possibility for simultaneous users as well as the ability to extract own versions that can later be integrated back again (split/merge). All other possible engineering design tools have heir own way to visualise the technical railway data which will be different to how it is incorporated in Bane NOR. There are other tools in the market but they currently don't have the necessary functionality of NRV. A lot of resources have been invested in further development and it would be disproportionate to replace the solution with a new one that does not have all the necessary functionality. On this basis, Bane NOR intends to sign a direct contract for continuation until 2021 with TrafitIT for licenses, further development and maintenance of the software on the basis of the exceptions according to the Public Procurement Act and Regulation (Supply Regulation) § 9-3 letter b No 3 and letter c.
