Title: TRI-RAIL'S TRACKING AND INFORMATION SYSTEM: INTEGRATING OPERATIONS AND CUSTOMER INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Accession Number: 00760762
Record Type: Component
Availability: American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) 444 North Capitol Street, NW Abstract: TrainTrac is a state of the art train tracking and management system that was developed for the Tri-Rail Commuter Rail Authority to help improve many aspects of their system's operation. TrainTrac is an information system that improves Tri-Rail operation by providing consistent and accurate information to the people who need it, in the form they need it, and at the time they need it. Different people within the Tri-Rail system require different types of information that are best presented in differing ways. This paper discusses TrainTrac, the use of GIS, the technical challenges encountered, and finally draws some conclusions.
