Case Study · Strategic Roadmap
Charting a roadmap for smarter rail cars.
A global rail equipment provider wanted to build a new passenger information system with audio video bridging capabilities. We worked with 2 specialist experts to map work packages, costs and a validation plan for the upgrade.
The Client
The client is a leading global provider of equipment, systems, digital solutions and services for freight and transit rail. It wanted a clear plan to build a passenger information system that meets audio video bridging standards.
The Challenge
New standards.
Plan the upgrade.
Prescouter was asked to plan the work packages, hardware readiness assessment and validation plan needed to develop a new passenger information system with standards-compliant audio video bridging.

Cost model
Hourseffort per work package
Price the path
Experts named software libraries for each package, feeding the cost and man hour estimates.
The Outcome
A step by step path to new bids.
Prescouter identified the structured work packages needed to upgrade the client’s system and estimated the man hours for each, shown in Gantt charts. The client will use the roadmap and validation plan to expand its portfolio and win bids for high-profile railway projects.
