Abstract
Efficient railway management requires up-to-date and locally relevant decision support tools. In this paper, a primary integration method using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is proposed. The results show that GIS can be used effectively to approach complex problems for the management of railway infrastructure. The potential benefits obtained will be significant.
