Analyst Perspective:
Rolling stock refers to railway vehicles that include both powered and unpowered vehicles. It is referred to any railway vehicle that can move on the rail tracks. The rolling stock’s maintenance, information tracking, and management are the key features of the rolling stock management system. It maintains the information regarding the running as well as breakdown and inspection records of the rolling stocks. It also stores the records of the rolling stock from its manufacturing to the information regarding its main fittings. The management of the history log of the rolling stock helps the workers, during its inspection and breakdown, to efficiently manage their work. In addition, this system helps to collectively connect this information to traffic management systems, material and accounting systems, transportation plans, etc. Therefore, the rolling stock management system is necessary to determine the optimal performance of the rolling stocks and the railway industry.

Expansion of Rail Industry
The demand for improved transport services is growing rapidly across the globe. As per the International Energy Agency (IEA), compared to 2019, passenger and freight activities are expected to double by 2050. Per The World Bank Group, railways are considered among the most efficient ways to transport passengers and freight. Due to growing transport activities, the World Bank Group is investing in the development of the rail industry to make it more efficient. Many organizations are extending their support to governments of various developing countries in reforming the railway infrastructure and incorporating railways into a country’s transportation network. In addition, governments of developing countries are investing to boost their railway industry. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation, by 2030, the country will invest ~US$ 715.41 billion for rail infrastructure and development. To manage the increased passenger and freight traffic, countries are expanding their railway infrastructure. For instance, in September 2022, The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) opened a new train station in Hartford County, US. In addition, in January 2022, the Investment Minister of Saudi Arabia announced the country’s target to expand the rail network by 8,000 km. The rolling stock management system helps to improve the optimal performance of rolling stock. The rise in expansion and development of the rail industry is creating a demand for rolling stocks such as locomotives, freight cars, and passenger trains, which further boosts the demand for an efficient rolling stock management system.
