Indian Railways are the largest rail network in Asia and the
world’s second largest under one management. Criss-crossing
the country’s vast geographical spread, Indian Railways are
a multi-gauge, multi-traction system covering over 1 lakh track
kilometres,300 yards, 2300 goodsheds and 700 repair shops. Its
rolling stock fleet includes 8300 locomotives, 39,000 coaching
vehicles and 3.5 lakh freight wagons. Its work force is 1.65
million and it runs some 11,000 trains everyday, including 7,000
passenger trains. Over the years, Railways have built up an
elaborate and well established manual information system to
help them monitoring their moving assets. Supported by a dedicated
voice communications network, it collects and transmits information
from the remotest corners of the country to control centres,
at the highest level. The size and complexity of their operations,
growing traffic and changing technologies, placed inevitably
a heavy burden on this manual information system. Need for its
modernisation was therefore felt for sometime.
