AlphaRail

Alpha in finance is used as a measure of the outperformance of an active portfolio management strategy against a passive strategy or index. We think this performance measurement thinking can be applied to rail operations as well. Railroads can achieve outperformance operationally and financially by using software to achieve hyperactive operational management. In practice, Alpha for railroads is unlocked when seasoned rail operations management veterans utilize state-of-the-art technology to support their operational decision making processes as opposed to relying solely on instinct and experience to guide their decisions.
