COMPUTER SYSTEMS AID TRACK WORK

At a special AREA Symposium on Systems Engineering, R.F. Tuve of Southern Railway offered pointers on the practical side of developing an information system. Involvement of line personnel in system design is essential and is often overlooked. The entire system should be considered from the point of view of both present and future requirements, and all alternative approaches should be evaluated. Examples of system design on the Southern Railway are provided; particular case involves development of a track data system.
