As one of the few railways worldwide with its own natural hazards department, \u00d6BB truly benefits from its co-operation with UBIMET. International <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ubimet.com\/en\/portfolio-item\/deutsche-bahn-winter-service-planning-for-more-than-5400-railway-stations\/\">railway operators such as DB<\/a> have been using the UBIMET weather warning system since 2007.<\/p>\n<p>The warning\u00a0systems for railways from Austria are unique and have gained international attention and recognition. The system allows very precise route forecasts. The \u00d6BB knows days in advance, where a lot of snow will fall and are able to keep the tracks clear. The railway weather system is currently being prepared for Europe-wide coverage, as accurate and precise forecasts are of great importance for all railway operators!<\/p>\n<h3>Broad scope &amp; powerful potential<\/h3>\n<p>In the winter railway operators want to know when and where they have to clear snow. Prolonged summer heat waves should be used to schedule track repairs, as the heat can lead to warping of the rails. To calculate the risk of fire along railway tracks, each curve and slope must be taken into account.<\/p>\n<p>For these forecasts, UBIMET developed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ubimet.com\/en\/technology\/weather-models\/\">high-resolution, industry-tailored weather model<\/a>. The railway weather system also serves as a communications center, as all weather warnings, news from \u00d6BB employees and the latest weather station readings are all gathered in one central online portal.<\/p>\n<h3>Services provided by UBIMET to \u00d6BB<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Weather information and notification system for the entire operator<\/li>\n<li>Internal communication regarding natural hazards management<\/li>\n<li>Information and reporting for the avalanche committee<\/li>\n<li>Monitoring of torrents and mudflows<\/li>\n<li>Construction and operation of weather stations<\/li>\n<li>Winter service information<\/li>\n<li>Risk analysis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_half-6126cab7d8fab8d08143dd2dacdf673c\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_half-6126cab7d8fab8d08143dd2dacdf673c{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-av_one_half-6126cab7d8fab8d08143dd2dacdf673c av_one_half  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_one_full  avia-builder-el-last  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding column-top-margin'     ><div  class='avia-icon-list-container av-jjftgjql-cf880928a95852f41b7c0bea845dd727  avia-builder-el-5  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '><ul class='avia-icon-list avia_animate_when_almost_visible avia-icon-list-left av-iconlist-big av-jjftgjql-cf880928a95852f41b7c0bea845dd727 avia-iconlist-animate'>\n<li><div class='iconlist_icon av-av_iconlist_item-f62fa296ec3c965be78f5daf08dc07a7 avia-font-entypo-fontello'><span class='iconlist-char' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue8ab' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><\/div><article class=\"article-icon-entry av-iconlist-empty\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class=\"iconlist_content_wrap\"><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><h4 class='av_iconlist_title iconlist_title  '  itemprop=\"headline\" ><a href='https:\/\/www.oebb.at\/de\/' title='Go to \u00d6BB website' target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Go to \u00d6BB website<\/a><\/h4><\/header><div class='iconlist_content '  itemprop=\"text\" ><\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><div class=\"iconlist-timeline\"><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":30132,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"portfolio_entries":[36],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.8 -
