2013
• Aging assets…~40K locos & 500K cars > 30 yrs; maint. & safety risk going up. RRs
facing shortage of assets => Asset opt. & analytics
• Train Derailments…increased focus on safety of crude oil trains => Safety solutions
• Data & Connectivity…more machine data accessibility driven by sensors on assets &
tracks. PTC driving asset connectivity => Big data analytics can unlock new value
Railroads needs SW solutions to unlock further efficiencies and
address challenges
