Streamline rail operations with GIS

Emerging technologies in railroad operations improve safety and efficiency, but implementing unrelated technologies can cause confusion and data overload. GIS technology offers a solution by integrating business systems, thus providing a common operating picture. By transitioning daily metrics from spreadsheets to interactive maps or dashboards, problem areas can be visualized and network issues can be identified.

How GIS supports operations management

Drone and lidar

Railroad operations extensively utilize drones, and the collected imagery serves multiple purposes beyond the initial project requirement. Storing these images spatially in ArcGIS Image Server provides access to aerial imagery, allowing users to locate specific areas and search through all the available imagery, regardless of the project it was collected for.
