Ecotrack is a decision support system for permanent way maintenance and renewal. To help the introduction of Ecotrack a Feasibility Study has been developed. This Feasibility Study includes the following:

• Organisation and participation in a kick-off meeting with the user
• Preparation of a test data set (data should be delivered by the user)
• Defining the missing data and investigating the possibilities of their collection in future
• Analysis of the existing maintenance and renewal practices, including rules, regulations and standards, and possibilities of their conversion into Ecotrack's decision-making rules
• Consideration of the organisational aspects of user, and investigation of the optimal and most suitable forms of Ecotrack implementation and deployment at user's railway network
• Production of the feasibility report
• Presentation of the feasibility report
• Demonstration of Ecotrack with the user's data
• Organisation of a training session and/or workshop with the user's test data.

Documentation
The provided feasibility report will contain the following:

• Introduction
• Actual situation in the network
• Data management
• Organisation and planning
• Cost estimates for implementation
• Recommendations.

The report will permit the user to take the necessary decisions about the introduction of Ecotrack in the user's network.
