Rail Intel is a first of its kind global intelligence platform which allows data-driven decision making to be made by operators.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The new partnership will provide UKTram members with discounted access to Rail Intel\u2019s powerful suite of tools that enable planners, operators and suppliers to unlock insights and smarter futures. The platform provides comprehensive, continuously updated information om every light rail and metro system worldwide, whether operational, under construction, or in the early stages of planning.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Johnson, Mainspring\u2019s CEO, said: \u201cWe built the Global Light Rail portal based upon the requests for business critical\u00a0information we were receiving from organisations across the world. Partnering with UKTram\u00a0means we can share that solution more widely, giving members the insights they need to plan smarter, act faster, and deliver better outcomes. It\u2019s\u00a0a privilege to support the UK\u2019s light rail community in this way, and we\u2019re\u00a0just getting started.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The database is designed for both local authorities and suppliers and offers real-time analytics, live tenders and forecasts to keep users ahead of the curve. It supports everything from high-level network modelling to granular project benchmarking and aims to help cities assess new opportunities for mass transit development and explore cost-saving procurement options.<\/p>\n<p>User benefits will include detailed global maps, bespoke data fields tailored to their organisation\u2019s priorities along with access to key performance metrics such as ridership, rolling stock characteristics, maintenance schedules and infrastructure type.<\/p>\n<p>Dan Hill, UKTram Knowledge Manager, said: \u201cThe ability to access and interpret this\u00a0sort of data is a game-changer. Through this collaboration, we\u2019re making it easier for our members to plan and deliver improvements to services and efficiency.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UKTram have announced a new collaboration with Rail Intel which will allow systems to access and act upon real-time data.
