Several models have been created to reproduce both current and future infrastructure. Railway directorate&#8217;s conceptual models for the future are available for everyone in the NorRailView web application.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>These functional infrastructure models are mainly used as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Input data in planning of bid development and robustness analyses (simulation)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensuring the connection between infrastructure development, train services and train materials (dimensioning)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Route modelling for tender development traffic packages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Basis for agreements on financing of infrastructure projects, e.g. new signal system<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If the models are to be used in other software, they can easily be exported to railML2.4nor or railML3.2 format from NorRailView.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-view-and-download-the-models-on-norrailview\">View and download the models on NorRailView<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Modell<\/th><th>Dokumentasjon<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/railoscope.com\/workspace\/6074970aaba15e47fca2625d?capability=TcBEfyVmiJTWLZm8&amp;branchId=6281fc03a6ce9f408c072307&amp;noTT=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IreferanseAlternativNTP2025-2036<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jernbanedirektoratet.no\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Infrastrukturmodell-Referansealternativ-til-NTP-2025-2036-Rev03.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Referansealternativ til NTP 2025\u20132036 &#8211; delrapport infrastrukturmodell (PDF)<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>If\u00f8rstePeriodeNTP2022-2033<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>If\u00f8rstePeriodeNTP2025-2036<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend reading the documentation before using the model.
