An Investment in the Future
As the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) makes continued investments in railway identification, tracking, and safety, it is critical that the data it receives is timely and accurate. The RPM System allows changes in railroad safety equipment, roadway conditions and usage to be identified quickly, communicated to the FRA, and updated in the databases. It also allows for the recognition of duplicate, inactive, or otherwise incorrect information, ensuring the quality of data for future use.
Access for Everyone, Everywhere
The RPM Portal is the web-based application used to present and report on all the information stored within the database. It provides a centralized location for both the collection and viewing of real-time data, far reducing the potential for human error associated with analog collection methods and transposition into digital formats. Regardless of the device used to access it, the Portal provides a highly responsive, visually clear way of keeping tabs on Delaware’s railways from wherever the information is needed and whomever needs it.
Developing Better Decisions
In addition to the asset inventory, Century developed databases and mobile- and web-based applications using the same technologies to support DelDOT’s incident reporting, crossing maintenance management and construction monitoring tasks. For DelDOT, these tools and solutions not only represent a way to easily acquire information to support more informed decision-making, but also provide a sense of accountability and transparency for DelDOT, its contractors, and the public.
