Problem
Train drivers often have to record emergency brake events using paper logs or ad‑hoc methods, which leads to delayed reporting, inconsistent data capture, and limited visibility for safety analysts and operations teams.
Solution
Brakeify offers a dedicated mobile application that lets locomotive engineers log emergency brake applications instantly with a few taps on their smartphone. Each report is timestamped, geotagged, and transmitted in real time to a cloud‑hosted web portal where safety engineers can view the full dataset within seconds. The web interface aggregates incidents, provides basic filtering and trend visualizations, and allows users to export the information in common formats for further analysis or regulatory reporting. By digitizing the reporting workflow, Brakeify reduces administrative overhead, improves data accuracy, and enables faster root‑cause investigations across railway operators.
Target Audience
Primary customers are railway operators and safety management teams that need reliable, timely data on emergency brake events to monitor performance and support incident investigations.
