Public‑transportation networks such as buses, trains, and subways rely on complex mix of mobile and stationary assets, where upgrades and expansions turn into intricate engineering projects with vast documentation. Manual, paper‑based methods create unreliable, ad‑hoc processes that lead to outdated information, rework, cost overruns, and schedule delays. Accruent’s Meridian software brings this chaos under control by centralizing engineering data, ensuring engineers always access current documents and approved changes. As a result, project outcomes are more consistently on time, within budget, and within specifications, with the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) using Meridian to standardize information management across its transit‑engineering programs.
