Presentation title:
Rail Traffic System – Transparancy and digital communication between railway stakeholders

Summary:
In the railway sector a lot of communication is still done bilaterally and often by mail or phone. Rail Traffic System, the communication platform built by the Antwerp Port Authority, wants to change this. Rail Traffic System brings together railway undertakings, terminals, industry, storage facilities and all kinds of third parties involved in railway transport to share data and communicate through one single platform.
