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.
