The RAILER System for Maintenance Management of U.S. Army Railroad Networks: RAILER 1 Description and Use
Abstract
The U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (USA-CERL) is developing the RAILER system for managing the inspection, evaluation, and repair of Army railroad networks. This report describes RAILER I, an interim system whose capabilities support FORMAP-2, a multiyear rail rehabilitation program at U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) and National Guard installations. This report describes the structure of RAILER I, details the inspection and inventory procedures needed to collect the data used by the computer program, explains how the program's output can be used to support network and project level planning, and describes the testing and evaluation of the program. It also makes recommendations regarding the implementation and enhancement of the program and suggests some actions FORSCOM could take to encourage its use. Instructions for operating the program are provided in a companion manual, USA- CERL ADP Report M-88/16.
