Fleet #telematics isn't often associated with railroad transportation, but the use case is compelling: monitoring rail-car location, movement, load, handbrake, door/hatch status, and impact. The operational efficiencies gained can be significant! Check out interesting insights in the article below. 💡Now, imagine adding a real-time #videotelematics component to radically improve safety for railroad operators, passengers, and the general public!

Transforming the Future of Rail Transportation!  At RailPulse, our mission is to revolutionize the rail industry by harnessing the power of telematics. By providing actionable data to rail shippers and railcar owners, we're enabling: ✅ Improved supply chain efficiency  ✅ Enhanced safety across the network  ✅ Increased value for the entire rail ecosystem Our focus is on delivering greater visibility and operational insights across the railcar fleet, supporting the growth and sustainability of the rail industry as a whole. 🌍📊Our neutral, open-architecture telematics platform offers near real-time visibility into railcar locations, health, and conditions, transforming the entire supply chain. Want to learn more about how we’re making North American rail shipping safer, more efficient, and sustainable?

RailPulse, formed by a coalition of rail industry leaders, announced today the launch of its new technology infrastructure that provides near real-time data and insights across the North American freight railcar fleet. The platform leverages GPS and other telematics technologies to monitor the location, condition and health of railcars, aiming to enhance safety, efficiency and visibility for rail shippers, railroads and railcar owners. The RailPulse Platform aggregates, enriches and securely stores data from sensors and other sources, delivering it to users through a web portal and application programming interfaces (APIs). The platform accommodates a wide variety of railcar sensors, including those for location, movement, load, handbrake, door/hatch status, impact, and more. Owners get all data on their railcars, while approved data is securely shared with authorized users. Users can also set up alerts, geofences, and reports to manage their railcar fleets and shipments more effectively. The launch is the culmination of two years of development and testing in collaboration with RailPulse coalition members and leading telemetry vendors. The coalition received active support through a Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) grant from the U.S. Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT). The key objectives of RailPulse include: • Industry-Wide Telematics Infrastructure: RailPulse facilitates collaboration among industry players by creating a secure, trusted, standardized, and vendor neutral railcar telematics infrastructure that spans the entire North American freight rail industry. • Data-Driven Transformation: RailPulse harnesses the power of GPS and sensor data, data standardization and cloud storage to deliver actionable data to all rail stakeholders enabling improved service, visibility, safety, sustainability, and productivity. • Enhanced Service through Visibility: RailPulse empowers shippers with near real-time insights into railcar and goods movements enabling them to make better, more informed supply chain decisions and optimize their operations. The RailPulse Platform is governed by a board of directors composed of representatives from four categories of equity owners: rail shippers, Class I railroads, short line railroads and railcar lessors. Current board members are Bunge, CPKC, CSX, GATX , Genesee & Wyoming Inc., Norfolk Southern, Railroad Development Corporation, The Greenbrier Companies, TrinityRail, Union Pacific Railroad and Watco Companies LLC.
