“But that’s not the kilometre in the plan!” – the potential of georeferenced railway infrastructure data
“But that’s not the kilometre in the plan!” – the potential of georeferenced railway infrastructure data. The immense geographic extent and complexity of railway networks imposes enormous demands on recording and data processing systems. Data suppliers need to meet the requirements of all the fields of the railway trackside equipment industry and to efficiently derive and provide consistent infrastructure data. This article examines the challenges faced when collecting, analysing and managing this data and presents measures zu optimise these processes. The focus is set on the analysis of georeferenced data using geographic information systems (GIS)
