Track: Transportation
Authors: Raquel Hunt, Judah Lynam
The Federal Railroad Administration's GIS program continues to increase its ability to support the agency's key mission(s) by leveraging innovative technologies such as Silverlight, Online Services, and Mobile device applications. This presentation will cover several projects currently being deployed at the FRA to provide GIS solutions using ERSI technologies. FRA's Safety Program benefits from custom internal GIS applications developed with Silverlight and Online GIS Services. The FRA's regional and field staff will benefit from the development of mobile device applications and the deployment of ESRI software and online services that will increase their ability to access and collect critical data.
