The railway industry is facing critical societal challenges such as a shrinking workforce and the need
for technology transfer. There is a growing demand for efficient infrastructure management using Geographic
Information Systems (GIS). This paper presents an applied study on the development and validation of a mobile
GIS for railways to address these issues. We propose a mobile GIS with a web-based, loosely-coupled architecture
to overcome the limitations of conventional systems, specifically their restricted user environments and usability
issues. Our approach is based on a UX research study and an analysis of access logs derived from 18 years of
operational experience. The results quantitatively demonstrate that the proposed system enhances usability,
improves information sharing efficiency, and facilitates the formalization of tacit knowledge. These findings
contribute to improving the productivity and safety of railway field operations, serving as a new case study for
applied GIS research in the railway sector.
