It offers configurable master test plans that adhere to safe operating practices and comply the with regulations of both Mexico and the US Federal Railroad Administration. Its reporting and analysis features help to identify opportunities for safety improvements and better plan development.

The Cloud imports the General Code of Operating Rules (GCOR) and other rules libraries. This enables KCS to create master testing plans according to the unique needs of the region and location.

Kansas City Southern executive vice-president and chief innovation officer Brian Hancock said: “KCS’ vision is to consistently be the fastest-growing, best-performing and most customer-focused transportation provider in North America.

“Safety is first among KCS’ core values. The CloudMoyo OTS solution advances safety and compliance and, with the seamless user experience, it is already delivering a significant productivity boost for our workforce and helping drive operational efficiencies at KCS.”
