The Railhub Finder is based on open source base maps. In these maps, both active and disused loading points are shown in different colours. When a loading point is selected, extensive metadata on the infrastructure of the loading point and images appear. In addition, economic activities are also localised in the Railhub Finder. Every company with transport requirements has the opportunity to register in the Railhub Finder and is displayed on a map after a brief check by the Thuringian Ministry of Infrastructure and Agriculture.
The routing function makes it easier to determine distances and transport catchment areas in order to better calculate the cost-effectiveness of transport routes between companies and loading points. With the help of time or distance instances, the tool offers both loading point operators and companies the opportunity to better calculate their needs and adapt loading points to these needs.
The RailHub Finder also provides access to other information portals and articles designed to facilitate the transport of goods by rail.
The map shows active and decommissioned loading points, their equipment, and the companies involved, along with company information and details of the required loading infrastructure. Various base maps can be used as desired. Additional explanatory legends and various additional functions are available.
Companies can use the RailHub Editor to register, create their infrastructure and manage metadata.
Operators of loading infrastructure are asked to provide data such as location, opening hours, contact details, infrastructure features and available loading options.
Yes, registered companies and operators can update their data at any time via the RailHub Editor.
