Each day, an average of 85,700 passengers ride more than 300 Amtrak trains over a system covering 21,300 miles. There are many software programs, projects, and analytics that enable those passengers to have an enjoyable ride.  IT WORKS has developed several key software programs for Amtrak that do everything from tracking each train to allowing passengers to interactively plan their trip.  We have also taken the lead on project managing major projects like Onboard Wi-Fi, Passenger Information Display Systems, Trackside Wi-Fi, and Onboard Information Systems.  We have also assisted Amtrak with making smarter business decisions, improving efficient operations, increasing higher profits and creating happier customers through advanced data analytics such as train status algorithm.
