Railway management content services is about communicating the impact of weather on railway networks and optimizing operations when faced with severe weather. To ensure total operational efficiency railways need weather risk communication contents which are created from a great understanding of the terrain and how weather interacts with it. Generalized weather information means very little when it comes to operating a network which can be brought to a standstill due to heavy rain in only one area of track, or extreme heat induced track buckling in one location. Railway Management Content Service provides weather-related support for disaster response, line-maintenance work, transport control, and all of the many different operations performed by railway entities. The service is designed to help ensure optimum economic and safety efficencies.
Weathernews currently provides rail maintenance content services to major rail networks via the installation of measurement stations which collect observation data on earthquakes, rainfall, wind-speed, temperature and other weather conditions along the rain lines. This information is then analyzed by Weathernews to provide content that enables railway companies to proactively manage the impact of weather on their network. Our content is based on quantitative and precise short-term weather analysis and forecasts. In addition, observation data can be shared be shared across the customer base to gain a clearer understanding of the impact of weather on rolling stock, tracks and electrical facilities.
