ProRail is the infrastructure manager of the Dutch railway network. The development of the railway infrastructure is an important task of ProRail. The infrastructure should enable a frequent, reliable and comfortable transport of passengers and freight. Managing the requirement information is an ongoing challenge in infrastructure development. In this paper we present a requirement development model, soon to be introduced at ProRail. It provides a practical basis to secure both the traceability between requirements and between requirements and design. The network character of the railway system is the reason that there are in practice distinct levels recognizable in the design process. The aim of this requirement development model is also to manage the requirement and design information at a level in the design process and between levels. The model is still in a development phase. With this model we hope to contribute to the development of practical SE applications in the transport sector.
