This study describes the development of a geographic information system for freight transport which utilizes existing freight transport data, and which helps users or operators understand real transport conditions with a view to improving freight transport efficiency. This GIS system can be used to examine the state of rail transport along corridors. A simulation using relevant index values, then calculates a comparative evaluation of rail freight compared to road transport. The information thus obtained from the new GIS system can be used to support decision-making to facilitate transport planning for users or operators.
