Tiez Rail Protect automates segment-level scoring and audit-ready documentation on railroad GIS data. ### How does Tiez Rail Protect use GIS? Tiez Rail Protect ties hazmat route risk views to track geometry and milepost context so safety, compliance, and engineering teams evaluate segments with shared spatial intelligence instead of disconnected spreadsheets. ### Is Tiez Rail Protect available now? Yes. Tiez Rail Protect is the first production application on Tiez RailPlatform and is live today for railroads that need FRA 172.820 rail risk management workflows. ## Tiez Rail Traffic Manager — Yard Operations & Railcar Inventory on RailPlatform URL: https://tieztechnologies.com/products/railcartracker/ ### What is Tiez Rail Traffic Manager? Tiez Rail Traffic Manager is a RailPlatform application for real-time railcar inventory and yard management, including drag-and-drop track assignments, utilization dashboards, map view, and export-ready operational reports. ### Is Tiez Rail Traffic Manager available now? Yes. Tiez Rail Traffic Manager is live on Tiez RailPlatform for yard and traffic management workflows. ### How does Tiez Rail Traffic Manager relate to RailPlatform? Tiez Rail Traffic Manager runs on the same Tiez RailPlatform SSO and spatial data foundation as Tiez Rail Protect, so yard and traffic workflows share one cloud-native rail GIS stack. ## Tiez Track Inspector — Track Inspection & FRA Compliance on RailPlatform URL: https://tieztechnologies.com/products/inspector/ ### What is Tiez Track Inspector? Tiez Track Inspector is a RailPlatform application for railroad track inspection and FRA compliance, including structured inspections, FRA defect wizards, photo documentation, and audit-ready reports. ### Is Tiez Track Inspector available now? Yes. Tiez Track Inspector is live on Tiez RailPlatform for track inspection and FRA compliance workflows. ### How does Tiez Track Inspector use RailPlatform? Tiez Track Inspector uses the same RailPlatform SSO and milepost-accurate spatial foundation as Tiez Rail Protect so inspection records stay tied to track and location context. ## Tiez Locomotive Inspector — Locomotive Inspection on RailPlatform (In Development) URL: https://tieztechnologies.com/products/locomotive-inspector/ ### What is Tiez Locomotive Inspector? Tiez Locomotive Inspector is a RailPlatform application in development for locomotive inspection teams, focused on easier tracking of inspection work and more efficient shop and field workflows. ### Is Tiez Locomotive Inspector available now? Tiez Locomotive Inspector is in active development. Contact Tiez Technologies to discuss locomotive inspection workflows and the product roadmap. ### How is Tiez Locomotive Inspector different from Tiez Track Inspector? Tiez Track Inspector is live for railroad track inspection. Tiez Locomotive Inspector is in development for locomotive-focused inspection workflows on the same RailPlatform. ## Railroad GIS Learning Center URL: https://tieztechnologies.com/learn/ ### What topics do the railroad GIS guides cover? Guides cover railroad asset management GIS, track GIS mapping, cloud-based rail infrastructure management, and railroad safety and risk management—including workflows demonstrated by Tiez Rail Protect. ### Who are these guides for? The learning center is written for railroad operations, engineering, safety, and compliance teams evaluating or modernizing GIS for railroads—from Class I carriers to short line railroads. ### How do the articles relate to Tiez products? Each guide connects industry concepts to practical workflows on modern cloud-native platforms like Tiez RailPlatform and applications such as Tiez Rail Protect. ## Our Team at Tiez Technologies URL: https://tieztechnologies.com/about/team/ ### What does the Tiez Technologies team build? The Tiez leadership team builds Tiez RailPlatform, Tiez Rail Protect, Tiez Rail Traffic Manager, Tiez Track Inspector, and Tiez Locomotive Inspector—modern railroad GIS software designed for milepost-accurate spatial workflows, regulatory programs, and cloud-native performance. ### Why focus on railroad GIS specifically? Railroads need GIS that respects linear referencing, subdivision context, and regulatory documentation. Tiez products are rail-first rather than adapted from generic mapping tools. ### What is the product roadmap? Tiez Rail Protect, Tiez Rail Traffic Manager, and Tiez Track Inspector are live on the RailPlatform. Tiez Locomotive Inspector is in development on the same GIS foundation. ## GIS Platform for Railroad Asset Management URL: https://tieztechnologies.com/learn/railroad-gis-asset-management/ ### Why is GIS important for railroad asset management? GIS ties asset records to track geometry and mileposts so teams know exactly where assets are, what condition they are in, and when they were last inspected—critical for maintenance and compliance. ### How is rail asset GIS different from spreadsheets? Spreadsheets lack spatial context. A railroad GIS platform georeferences bridges, signals, crossings, and track segments to real network locations for faster planning and audit-ready records. ### How does Tiez support asset management GIS? Tiez RailPlatform provides a cloud-native GIS foundation with map-centric workflows that scale across subdivisions and support applications like Tiez Rail Protect on shared spatial data. ## Railroad Track GIS Mapping Software URL: https://tieztechnologies.com/learn/railroad-track-gis-mapping-software/ ### What is railroad track GIS mapping? Track GIS mapping places centerline geometry, crossings, bridges, tunnels, and infrastructure layers on a map with milepost-accurate context for engineering and operations planning. ### What is linear referencing in rail GIS? Linear referencing ties field observations, inspections, and work orders to authoritative mileposts along track geometry—essential for railroad-specific GIS workflows. ### How does Tiez RailPlatform support track mapping? Tiez RailPlatform delivers cloud-native rail infrastructure GIS with map-centric workflows so teams collaborate on current track data without legacy desktop export cycles. ## Cloud-Based Rail GIS for Infrastructure Management URL: https://tieztechnologies.com/learn/cloud-rail-gis-infrastructure-management/ ### What are the benefits of cloud-based rail GIS? Cloud rail GIS keeps infrastructure data current across field crews and office teams, improves cross-department collaboration, and reduces IT overhead from legacy desktop GIS deployments. ### How does cloud GIS help infrastructure managers? Managers gain a single authoritative network view for capital planning, defect tracking, and incident response—everyone references the same milepost-accurate map. ### How does Tiez approach cloud rail GIS? Tiez RailPlatform is designed for reliable performance at railroad scale, with APIs and applications like Tiez Rail Protect sharing one spatial rail data foundation. ## Railroad Safety & Risk Management with GIS URL: https://tieztechnologies.com/learn/railroad-safety-risk-management-gis/ ### How does GIS support railroad safety programs? GIS ties hazards, incidents, and analyses to real track geometry so teams see where risk concentrates across subdivisions and coordinate remediations with location-accurate context. ### What is segment-level risk scoring? Segment-level scoring evaluates hazmat route risk by track segment rather than route averages, enabling targeted mitigation and more defensible compliance documentation. ### How does Tiez Rail Protect demonstrate safety GIS? Tiez Rail Protect runs FRA 172.820 workflows on Tiez RailPlatform with automated assessments, hazard tracking, and export-ready compliance reports tied to milepost context. ## Privacy Policy URL: https://tieztechnologies.com/legal/privacy/ ### What does the Tiez privacy policy cover?
