“ We created our own proprietary visibility platform to give operators and clients visibility into rail milestones ”
PAUL BRASHIER VP – DRAYAGE AND INTERMODAL ITS LOGISTICS
Expanding on the benefits AI can bring to transportation , Simon points out that the emerging technology is enabling organisations to tackle issues which previously made intermodal more challenging – such as helping those with accessibility needs to better navigate the transport network .
From a supply chain perspective , the sector has seen investment in the development of solutions which allow freight trains to better coexist with passenger services during the day .
“ This means freight trains can slot in ahead and behind passenger trains , so there will be more options available to run a freight service ,” concludes Simon . “ The net result is more choice , more options and more capacity for customers .
“ Technology continues to advance , helping to ensure the reliability of services , detecting faults with equipment and helping to maintain performance in adverse conditions . This means higher levels of reliability – and customers can be confident their goods will arrive on time .”
