Rail Network Intelligence

Improve rail network resilience with proprietary 3D data, AI-powered analytics and geospatial intelligence

Actionable Intelligence for Rail Networks

Rail operators face growing challenges from flooding, wildfires and other environmental risks that can disrupt operations and damage critical infrastructure.

Intermap helps railway operators identify, assess and prioritize these risks through proprietary 3D data, AI-powered analytics and geospatial intelligence. Our solutions support network resilience, operational continuity, maintenance planning and disaster response across entire rail systems.

Rail Network Intelligence at Scale
Intermap delivers consistent terrain intelligence across large areas, helping transportation planners evaluate route alternatives and identify suitable alignments before committing to detailed surveys and engineering.

Terrain and Drainage Intelligence
Understand terrain, elevation and natural drainage conditions that may affect proposed rail and road corridors.

Route Alignment Analysis
Compare potential alignments and identify terrain constraints that may affect route feasibility, construction requirements and project cost.

Slope and Elevation Assessment
Evaluate slope, elevation change and surrounding terrain to support early engineering and infrastructure planning.

Early-Stage Project Prioritization
Screen large areas, compare route alternatives and focus engineering resources on the most viable corridors.

Powered by Proprietary 3D Data

Every risk assessment begins with trusted terrain intelligence.

Intermap's proprietary NEXTMap® 3D data data provides a consistent representation of terrain and surface conditions, helping planners understand the physical factors that influence rail and road corridor placement.

High-Resolution Terrain Intelligence
Support route alignment, corridor assessment and infrastructure planning with accurate 3D terrain data.

Network-Wide Visibility
Evaluate potential routes across large areas rather than relying on isolated surveys during the earliest planning stages.

Continually Updated Intelligence
Use a consistent terrain foundation to compare route alternatives across regions and project areas.

Scalable Coverage
Support local, regional and national rail and road projects through a scalable geospatial data foundation.
