2. • Detailed maps of internal railways include safety rules and help enforce them
• Security benefit of digital tracking & geofencing assets to alert unauthorized exit
• Movement & coupling optimization for shunting minimizes risk of accident & cost
• Digital Assets Model for predictive maintenance, Standards based Supply Chain
Services, forefront of automated train driving
• Removing human error from the logistics equation
• Reducing risk of rail incidents
Zero harm, no losses & minimal Supply Chain cost

3. Track Builder Suite (TBS)
• DigRail maps railways & generates a digital three-dimensional rail network model of
internal and external railways
• AssetRail describes a rail network in greater detail with inclusion of additional
assets (crossings, signals, etc)
Track Tracer Suite (TTS)
• RailTracer provides digital tracking of positions using track model from Track Builder
• MapTracer provides digital tracking of positions outside internal railways using
Google Maps or other
• EasyTrack is a mobile app. to display positions

6. Digital environment and tools are laying the groundwork for:
• Automated decision making
• Optimized shunting operations
• Rail Cargo Austria improves dispatching service level to feederline
• Automatic positioning of rail-asset RTCs to avoid shortages
• Can simulate dispatching operating-modes to test for capacity problems
• Autonomous locomotives
• Autonomizing rail operation and removing human error factors will improve safety
performance
• RTMO rail environment has been designed to comply with ISO/ÖNORM4920 standards
