Banverket is the authority responsible for rail traffic in Sweden. Banverket was formed in 1988 when Statens Järnvägar was split, leaving Statens Järnvägar as mainly a railway operator and real estate owner, only to be split again in 2001. Its headquarters are located in Borlänge, Sweden. The acting Director General of Banverket is Per-Olof Granbom, after succeeding Bo Bylund in 2005.
The Swedish Railway Inspectorate (Järnvägsinspektionen) was a part of Banverket until 2004, when the Swedish Rail Agency (Järnvägsstyrelsen) was formed, taking over its responsibilities.
