Accurate clearances are critical for modern railways, ensuring safe transit, protecting infrastructure, and safeguarding passengers.
Effectively managing clearances using the Connect platform enables networks to move more oversized loads more quickly and with a higher degree of assurance
Effective clearance management has become crucial as infrastructure modification costs rise and vehicle diversity increases. Connect Clearance delivers a single source of truth for their entire network. This all-in-one platform revolutionizes clearance management by integrating data capture, processing, management, compliance, and assessment.
By leveraging cutting-edge technology and advanced calculations, Connect Clearance enables the safe movement of larger trains through enlarged corridors while maintaining safety.
Automate network-wide survey capture
Clients can automate network-wide survey capture with Cordel’s advanced LiDAR technology and AI-powered solutions or import existing 3rd party survey data. This flexibility ensures comprehensive, up-to-date clearance data across the entire network, providing access to critical insights 10 times faster than traditional methods.
The ability to automate the survey process means railways can significantly reduce costs, improve safety, and enhance operational efficiency.
Centralize clearance data management
The Cordel Connect platform provides a unified solution for managing surveys, structures, platforms, and track spacing data - making it easily accessible across teams and ready for analysis. It employs advanced machine learning algorithms that convert raw survey data into actionable clearance information.
This centralized approach streamlines asset management, ensures data integrity, and enables railways to make informed decisions.
Optimize clearances for enhanced safety and efficiency
The Clearance module offers sophisticated tools for process optimization, allowing railways to maximize network potential while maintaining safety standards. Railways can proactively address clearance issues, optimize asset utilization, and enhance overall network resilience.
This optimization leads to safer operations, improved efficiency, and the potential for running larger trains through carefully managed and safe corridors.
Get the most out of your network with world-class clearance management
Structures
Measures clearances around bridges, tunnels, and other structures, enabling safe passage of trains
Platforms
