GoalRail® Establishes Itself in Europe with Upcoming Implementation in Lithuanian Railway

Sept. 19, 2011 - PRLog -- JULY 2011 — Vilnius, LITHUANIA. Within the framework of a determined attempt at modernization and expansion of railway transportation for passengers and goods, Lietuvos Gelezinkel, operator and regulatory organization for all forms of railway transport in Lithuania, will take advantage of GoalRail® for optimal graphic planning of its entire network’s rolling stock and personnel. GOAL SYSTEMS’ recognized experience with this type of project will ensure the project’s success.

From both a technological and a strategic point of view, implementing GoalRail®, GOAL SYSTEMS’ solution for optimal planning of productive resources in the railway sector, already present in other important international operators such as the Spanish RENFE, the French SNCF, and the Moroccan ONCF, is a key component of the new Lithuanian comprehensive railway traffic management system. By means of an international tender, the project was awarded to this truly Spanish solution, led by Indra.

Across its network, spanning more than 1700 km and operated by more than 10500 workers, Lietuvos Gelezinkel transports 50 million metric tons of goods (for the most part petroleum) and 6.2 million passengers annually, thanks to its fleet of rolling stock made up of more than 250 locomotives.

This network constitutes one of the main railways in Eastern Europe, connecting Poland and Belarus, with a great outlook for the future thanks to the significant investments made by the Lithuanian government toward its extension and modernization.
