Railway organizations invest heavily in their track network and support infrastructure. In addition to maintaining infrastructure network information, managers also need to be able to use it for decision support and business operations. Because ESRI technology provides interoperability support (CAD and GIS integration), you can use it to create a comprehensive rail information system that supports all your critical business processes.

Railway managers, whether focused on passenger or freight delivery, can use the spatial and analytic components of GIS to efficiently manage assets, maximize throughput, and monitor safety. The ability to share maps and information online improves communication with your stakeholders, including customers.

GIS mobile applications make it easier for crews to locate infrastructure, access accurate information, and file reports from the field.
