Abstract: This study aims to explore the applications of Geographical Information System (GIS) technology in managing and analysing the railway networks in Vietnam in a scientific and rational manner, developing the railway industry in a sustainable manner to keep pace with the development speed in the region and in the world. A process of building a GIS project and designing a geodatabase for a GIS project was proposed. From that point, it is suggested to build an experimental database for the railway networks of Vietnam through ArcGIS software 10.2. After that, the authors explored some typical applications of GIS technology for railway network management such as management, safety and security, and selecting optimum routes. The results showed that GIS application in managing railway system brings lots of benefit to not only in the railway sector but also in the transportation field.
