Geographic Information System of Slovenian Railways Co.
Defining Issue: The GIS project plan in the Slovenian Railways Company, Department for Infrastructure is presented. It included the contents of the project as well as its implementation in this type of organization. GIS Solution: The Slovenian Railway Co. ordered a study that will answer if is it possible to use GIS technology in this particular organization, what kind of goals we can expect, and how much it will cost. Methodology: On the basis of several years of experience, Railway Geographic System (RAGIS) for the railways system of Slovenian railroads is projected. For successful management each company needs the internal flow of data and information and this demands many resources. This continuous supply of data can be realized with the aid of computer technologies that are already in the market, and this should significantly increase the efficiency and competitive advantages of the company. Multiple entering of data would be abolished. Data will be collected only once for all purposes, not only
for studies and projects, but also for this realization and regular maintenance of the system. The railways system is a group of various constructions and to function demands the cooperation of many different experts. By means of computer technologies, it is possible to unite these experts in one professional team, which is not treating one structure partially but which is treating the system as a unit. Because of the fact that computers are relatively efficient, more solutions to a problem can be analyzed and realized in a shorter period of time, considering different parameters at the same time. This decision support system is designed to aid human decision making and provide productivity tools for knowledge experts. In this way decision making becomes more efficient. Software: Different Esri software and in most other cases MS.
