Much of the focus in the development of and debates surrounding Advanced Train Control Systems (ATCS) has centered on the technical aspects of the various hardware and software components that constitute such a system. However, numerous failures of advanced technologies in the service sector point to the need for careful consideration of the organizational and strategic needs of such a system before final design. One way of determining these needs is by looking at how ATCS can be used to support the overall strategy of the railroad. Once this relationship between ATCS and the railroad's strategy has been defined, a hierarchy of intelligent information systems components vital to linking strategy and implementation within the ATCS context can be formulated.
