SIMRAN
technology (a GPS-based system) jointly developed by IIT-Kanpur and
RDSO would go a long way in reducing train accidents at unmanned
crossings. If used in roadways buses, passengers would help the
passengers in knowing the location of the bus. The gangmen, while
repairing the railway tracks, would also know about the arrival of the
trains, thereby leaving no chance for mishap.
IIT-Kanpur director SG Dhande said that SIMRAN technology could be used for various purposes. He expressed happiness that it will go a long way in benefiting the society.
Explaining the function of SIMRAN technology in roadways buses, Dhande said: "The passengers at bus stations remain a harried lot. They never come to know about the location of the bus. This technology could be highly useful. We have sent a proposal to the state government and the talks are on. If the proposal is accepted, we will transfer this technology to Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation," he said.
SIMRAN would also help in reducing the cases of collision of trains. Dhande said that at unmanned crossings, a loud buzzer would blow when a train would be nearing. The railway gangmen would come to know through a buzzer alarm that would beep on a device that they would have. Thus alerting them and averting the chances of accident.
Dhande informed that SIMRAN technology would be installed on around 1000 mail and express. The technology would prove to be boon for the passengers of long distance trains. The need of SIMRAN in the short distance trains is not required.
This facility was launched by minister of state for railways Dinesh Trivedi in New Delhi As of now the technology is installed in around a dozen trains. It would be installed other passenger and goods trains later.
RIGHT TIME TRAIN RUNNING INFORMATION (RTIS) AT SIMRAN.IN
Indian Railways is Asia’s largest rail network. About 30 million railway passengers travel daily in 10,000+ trains running across the country. Railway network in India is like a big net spread widely across the country making Indian Railways a complex system. So train running information system in India plays a vital role for Indian railways passengers, general public and worried relatives of the train travelers.
ndian Railways has continuously been improving its services related to train running information to rail users | passengers | travelers. In fact some years ago Railways has already added internet based Enhanced National Train Enquiry System to provide train running information besides its manual (telephonic) train enquiry system. Currently online train running status is viewed widely over the internet using Enhanced National Train Enquiry System for almost all the passenger trains running in India. Two shortcut methods to track train online have already been described in my previous post related to railway live train running status trick to view online train position. Since currently accessible Train Running Information viewed at Indian railway website trainenquiry.com is primarily dependent on manual feeding of train positional data with time, it has certain limitations. So to overcome this situation usage of Advanced Communication and Information Technology such as GPS based train tracking system was felt.
To fulfill latest customer expectations, recently, the Real Time Train Information System (RTIS) project was started by Indian Railways on October 19, 2011. This Real Time Train Information System (RTIS) project is actually train enquiry system based on GPS which provides accurate train running information to rail passengers | general public. Through this new online train running position, rail passengers can also know about current speed of running train, next stoppage station with remaining distance in km, nearest approaching or recently passed intermediate railway station and much more. Through Real Time Train Information System passengers | travelers | public can easily know current train position, train running location i.e. if train is running right time (RT) or if train is running late (LT) too.
Real Time Train Information System (RTIS) project is based on SIMRAN and has jointly been developed by Indian Railways and IIT Kanpur. SIMRAN stands for Satellite IMaging for RAil Navigation. As RTIS is based on satellite, so accurate tracking of running train is easily possible for rail travelers. Real Time Train Information System is able to provide accurate train running information on a single click of mouse button on your computer or laptop or through a SMS sent from your mobile. Seeing this advanced features, RTIS will be welcomed by rail passengers as it was an important demand for a long lime. This new running train position system will replace the currently train running information system. Introduction of SIMRAN in Indian Railways is a revolutionary step which would bring a big turnaround in representing correct online live information on train timetable of running trains.
SIMRAN.IN
is the website through which newly launched Real Time Train Running
Information can be accessed to get live train running status of desired
train. Now first phase of Real Train Information System (RTIS) for
general public is available on Pilot Basis to access at the website http://simran.in.
In first phase of RTIS one can track real time live position of only
few important trains which are train number 12003 | 12304 Lucknow - New
Delhi Shatabdi Express, train number 12301 | 12302 Howrah - New Delhi
Rajdhani Express (via Gaya Junction), train number 12305 | 12306 Howrah -
New Delhi Rajdhani Express (via Patna Junction), train number 12313 |
12314 Sealdah - New Delhi Rajdhani Express, train number 12951 | 12952
Mumbai Central - New Delhi Rajdhani Express and train number 12953 |
12954 Mumbai Central – Nizamuddin A K Rajdhani Express. To access live
real time train position data of above trains SMS service is also available on 09415139139. You can SMS Train Number
only to get the latest position of desired train. Alternatively, you
can access train status on your internet enabled mobile phone or in your
laptop | PC at the website simran.in.
