What is RailTracker?
RailTracker is a railway tracking system designed, developed and implemented
by the Information Resources (infores.be).
It monitors all the movements of both locomotives and wagons on a railway network;
it is a very useful tool to improve management. But even more important, it
also monitors the movement of a railway client's goods.
This novel and unique feature enables registered customers, from any part of
the world, to access the network they are interested in, find out where their
cargo is and what has happened to it so far whilst in the custody of the railway.
RailTracker can also give you the history of your cargo.
We have also developed a web extension to the RailTracker system that allows
access via the Internet.
Some of the RailTracker-equipped railways already offer this new service, see
list.
If you want more information on this live operational tool now working on 16
networks, please contact us and we will send you
full details.
What is ACIS?
ACIS stands for Advance Cargo Information System.
ACIS is a logistics information system designed to improve transport efficiency
by tracking equipment and cargo on transport modes (rail, road, lake/river)
and at interfaces (ports, internal clearance depots (ICDs)) and by providing
information in advance of cargo arrival. ACIS provides both public and private
transport operators and ancillaries with reliable, useful and real-time data
on transport operations such as the whereabouts of goods and transport equipment,
and thus improves day-to-day management and decision-making. ACIS also produces
regular statistics and performance indicators which enable management to remedy
deficiencies and to make full use of the existing infrastructure and equipment
capacity.
RailTracker is the railway part of ACIS.
ACIS is designed, developed and installed by the United Nations Conference on
Trade and Development.
