About the Group
RIAMBiG is the international benchmarking group for railway infrastructure asset management. RIAMBiG’s principal aim is to compare performance as well as identify and share best practices in the management of railway infrastructure assets, following a structured approach, and in a confidential environment. The members stay in ongoing contact through performance reports, studies, the group’s secure website, and meetings hosted by the member railways. The project management, benchmarking analysis, and coordination of the group is provided by the Transport Strategy Centre (TSC) at Imperial College London.
