The KTH Railway Group in the Division for Transport Planning has continuously built a database of services
available and prices for nearly one hundred rail lines in Sweden. This database currently covers the years 1990 to 2019 and is updated annually on assignment. This supply database contains data on travel times, frequency, and prices in relation to various products (such as high-speed service, Intercity (IC) service, regional service) for commercial rail services, tendered service contracts for regional public transport, and national principals.

A report is published annually with analyses of trends and changes to services available, the competitive situation between operators and between rail, bus, and auto, and often including special in-depth study, as with generalized travel cost with respect to various relationships.
