Institution of Railway Signal & Telecommunication Engineering (India) (IRSTE) convened two days’ exhibition cum seminar on International Railway Signal and Telecom Systems on 25th and 26th April, 2005 under the chairmanship of Shri S.C. Gupta, Member Electrical. The recommendations of the expert panel are:
CTC system is being provided on GZB-CNB section of North Central Railway. This needs to be extended on ‘A’ & ‘C’ routes of Indian Railways along with automatic signaling works to improve operational flexibility and safety.
A beginning has been made to provide Train Protection and Warning System on 300 route kms NR, NCR & SR. This needs to be extended on high density A&C routes with priority on sections having automatic signaling in view of continually increasing traffic density.
Electronic interlocking system should be provided in all future replacement/new works to minimize unauthorized human intervention in signaling system, specially during unavailability of the system.
Mobile Train Radio Communication (MTRC) system is being implemented on 3000 routes KM on Indian Railways. Global System Mobile – Railways (GSM-R) communication can be implemented at reduced cost using Optical Fibre Cable (OFC) under the Management of RAILTEL. This should be extended to cover ‘A’, ‘B’ & ‘C’ routes in line with recommendation of RSRC.
DENSE Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology should be utilized for creating high capacity broadband network on existing OFC under the management of RAILTEL. This will help in combining Unreserved Ticketing System (UTS), Passenger Reservation System (PRS), Freight Operating Information System (FOIS), RAILNET and other maintenance networks into an integrated, optimized & efficient network with lower maintenance cost. The broadband network should also be used to set up cyber café at all stations of IR with broadband Internet facility.
