WHY SHOULD RAILROADS JOIN RAILPULSE?

The RailPulse platform provides real-time data on railcar location and condition to help railroads optimize fleet utilization and improve safety.

;

RAILPULSE BENEFITS FOR RAILROADS INCLUDE:

BETTER PIPELINE MANAGEMENT

Railroads can more easily monitor ETAs and empty/loaded events to control railcar pipelines in transit to optimize asset management and fleet utilization.

Value For Railroads

IMPROVED LOGISTICS INTELLIGENCE

Lost efficiency for crews & railcars occurs before/during/after railroad interchange. Telematics greatly increases visibility of the physical interchange process & notification.

FLEET ANALYTICS

Advanced analytics deliver insight into fleet-specific usage patterns and empty/loaded vsibility for
data-driven decision making.

SAFETY & ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

Railroads can monitor railcar health and detect potentially dangerous track conditions, resulting in fewer derailments, reduced hazmat spills, earlier detection of leakage, etc.

IMPROVED OPERATIONAL INSIGHTS

Railroads can know whether handbrakes are released, doors or hatches are open/closed, railcars are overloaded, loads are imbalanced, impacts occur, etc.

EASIER DEMURRAGE ACCOUNTING

RailPulse’s geofence timestamps and demurrage accounting capabilities help railroads invoice and resolve storage and demurrage disputes.

RAILPULSE RAILROAD DATA AND ANALYTICS

The RailPulse platform delivers advanced capabilities to drive your business:

  • Qualitative railcar location tracking (at intermediate yard, serving yard, line of road, etc.)
  • Inbound empties visibility
  • Entire rail route ETA algorithm
  • Enhanced demurrage accounting
  • Storage-in-transit management interface
  • Handbrake, open/close, door/hatch, and hard impact alerts

CONTINUOUS MONITORING TO OPTIMIZE PERFORMANCE

The RailPulse team continuously monitors the telemetry devices that are reporting to the platform and works proactively with our telemetry vendor partners to ensure that those devices are functioning correctly and delivering the data that our subscribers rely on. We regularly monitor the service that RailPulse and our certified vendors are delivering and develop continuous improvement plans if we fall short of our shared service level commitments. Our goal is to free our subscribers from the effort of monitoring their telemetry devices so that they can focus on using the data to improve their rail shipping experience.
