Increasing Safety and Enhancing Worker Productivity Via RFID

Published: February 19, 2013

Rapid-transit agencies rely on frequent visual inspections of rail tracks to ensure safe operations. The track workers that perform these inspections, however, can be vulnerable to hazards, since they must rely on policies or procedures to ensure their safety. Although incidents are rare, the impact is often disastrous when they occur. Bombardier Transportation has developed the TrackSafe system to ensure a safer working environment for track workers, by enabling contextual and real-time alerts. The system provides access to information being used to provide visibility into business processes, and also enhances worker productivity through process reengineering. Learn how the TrackSafe solution contributes to increased productivity, while ensuring a safe working environment.
