Preliminary studies, feasibility studies and market studies in rail transport
In the rail transport sector, thorough planning and analysis is crucial. It is necessary to evaluate the technical feasibility, economic viability and market situation of a project, which is a complex task. Enotrac places particular emphasis on comprehensive preliminary studies, feasibility studies and market studies, which form the core of our project evaluation and conception.
Preliminary studies: the basis for successful rail transport projects
Preliminary studies are the basis for the successful realisation of rail transport projects. Enotrac specialises in designing these initial phases of project development with precision. These preliminary studies include an in-depth analysis of the needs, requirements and potential of the project, covering various aspects of the public transport and rail system. These include overhead contact lines, energy supply systems, stations, workshops, tunnels, charging systems, energy storage systems, vehicle conversions and modernisations (refit) and other relevant areas.
Technical feasibility and interfaces
Technical feasibility and interfaces are fundamental to the planning of rail transport projects. The technical feasibility check ensures that a project can be realised within the overall system. In doing so, the framework conditions are carefully clarified and all relevant interfaces are included. Enotrac devotes the utmost care to this aspect to ensure that no important details are overlooked, thus enabling seamless implementation of the project.
We pay particular attention to the evaluation of technical feasibility in the feasibility studies. Here, all relevant interfaces are analysed and coordinated in detail to guarantee a smooth realisation of the project.
Furthermore, the market analysis is an important step in the evaluation of rail transport projects. Enotrac conducts comprehensive market studies to gain an in-depth insight into the market situation and thus create a solid basis for well-founded decisions.
Energy studies
Enotrac conducts energy studies to determine the energy consumption of the entire rail system, identify potential savings, and define the potential for optimisation. In these studies, the conceptual design is carried out by dimensioning electrical systems with the help of simulations. In addition, protection, earthing and return concepts are created, along with switching concepts. When designing overhead contact lines, we always observe all relevant standards and regulations to ensure the highest standards.

They ensure that all project partners have the information they need to make wise decisions about whether and how to proceed with the project. Enotrac helps to ensure that all the necessary foundations for planning and implementing a project are in place. With our support, you are well equipped to make the best decisions for the success of the project.
Feasibility studies
Feasibility studies are important for the successful implementation of projects. At Enotrac, we carry out comprehensive feasibility studies in rail transport to ensure that projects can be successfully implemented.
Early identification of problems
The feasibility study is an important tool that begins in the early phase of project initialisation. Its main objective is to create a solid decision-making basis for the feasibility of a project and to identify possible problems at an early stage that could lead to failure. Often, the client carries out a rough feasibility study in its own initialisation phase. The detailed and thorough feasibility study that Enotrac carries out accompanies the entire project planning process.
Comprehensive examination of feasibility
The feasibility study includes a thorough examination of organisational, economic, technical, temporal and legal aspects of a project. This enables us to guarantee that all the necessary resources are available and that legal requirements are met. In addition to technical and scientific analyses, the feasibility study also includes pilot tests, computer simulations, sampling and expert surveys.
Basis for a successful project
Successful project implementation requires precise information about duration, costs and scope. The feasibility study forms the basis for well-founded decisions and ensures that projects have a solid foundation from the outset. At Enotrac, we ensure that your rail transport project is well prepared for success.
