As Hungarian rail transport is undergoing a reorganisation, the development of a rail charging system became an urgent task. The continuous structural changes of the rail system require strategic planning in corporate management by guiding the reform process. The newly developed Hungarian rail charging system based on the evaluation and adaptation of international experiences is described. The control-based rail strategic planning by adaptation and practical use of the latest strategic controlling methods such as Balanced Scorecard or Activity Based Management is outlined. The rail charging and strategic control systems that acquire relevant data make planning and operation more reliable and compatible with European practice. By using such information systems even the implementation of strategy can be observed efficiently. Models based on domestic circumstances have to be elaborated to adapt up-to-date strategic control tools in Hungarian rail transport. For the covering abstract see ITRD E124693.
