According to the Federal Railroad Administration Office of Safety Analysis, in 2007 there were 13,187 accidents/incidents in the Rail Industry. How do you plan to manage that kind of risk?

Whether you manage a public transit, rail freight, or highway system, you are responsible for millions of dollars worth of infrastructure that span hundreds, if not thousands of miles. The operation, management, and servicing of these assets is no easy task. The greatest challenge for managers, planners, and decision-makers is the quality and quantity of field information, or the lack thereof, as well as the access and usability of it. The use of digital photographs, video, and audio narration is an extremely valuable and important tool for documenting assets and managing public safety concerns. Since every asset has a location, data collection must also include the manual task of recording GPS information. However, the value and usability of image and location data does have limitations. Additionally, the visualization of this data-spatially-has been another challenge . until now. Red Hen Systems provides the transportation market with highly versatile, cost-effective, and easily integrated solutions that enable better decision-making. We offer a fully automated process for geo-referencing and mapping digital photographs, video, and audio. More importantly, we provide you with tools that dramatically enhance the use and sharing of field data-straight from your desktop or the Internet.
