Blue flag and track protection

To move freight and passenger trains quickly and safely, railroads must regularly inspect, perform maintenance on and refuel their vehicles. But to do so, workers currently rely on a manual Blue Flag process. Essentially, it's the only way to protect themselves from unexpected movements and other hazards that could lead to fatalities.

The main features of this system include:
