Accurate, real-time data for tropical cyclones is essential for safe and reliable rail

Cyclones pose some of the most significant risks to rail networks,  bringing destructive winds, heavy rain, flooding, storm surge, and debris damage. For operators, these events can mean derailments, asset loss, crew danger, and prolonged service disruption.
