GIS Enablement of Indian Railways

• Group to be served– External Customers– Internal Users (customers) – O&M

• External Customers– Passengers– Freight customers

11

• External customers - Passengers– Passengers planning their journey

• Train options & Route options• Can be served with/on WMS with relevant attributes• Linkage with –

– Passenger Reservation System (PRS) – National Train Enquiry System (NTES)

– Query about Train Running• To Board or to Receive• Linkage with –

– Control Office Application (COA) & NTES

12


• External customers – Freight – Running status of identified BULK freight trains– Linkage with –

• COA & FOIS

13


• Internal Users – Operation & Maintenance– Train running query – similar to external

customers• Linkage with – COA & NTES

– Maintenance of Assets• WMS/WFS service with identified attributes• In different layers with defined authorisation

– Viz. Track, Bridges, Signal, Electrical installations, Land, Building & structures, etc.)

• Linkage with –– Respective RDBMS Applications

14


• Internal Users – Operation & Maintenance– Project Management/Monitoring

• WMS service• Linkage with – Respective P.M. Application• Video feed

15


• Disaster Management– WMS/WFS Service from all layers– Linkage with various RDBMS Applications– Info from external resources

• Viz. hospitals, PS, Distt. Hq., road network, etc– Linkage with – Bhuvan, SOI wms/wfs feed,

google map, Bing map, mapmyindia, etc

16


• What is needed : Action Points– Survey & Mapping– GIS Portal, Data centre– Application development– Route and Asset publishing– Linkage with other Applications (PRS, COA,

TMS, LAMS, SMS, etc)

17


• Survey & Mapping – SBAS– Routes, lines, yards etc

• Geo-mapping & Chainage mapping

– Assets –• On/Along Track – level crossings, bridges, signals, electrical

assets, other track features, stations, cabins, etc.– Geo-mapping & Chainage mapping

• Off Track – Productions Units, Workshops, buildings & structures, land, electrical installations, etc.

– Geo-mapping

18


• GIS Portal, Data centre– GIS Platform (CRIS and Railways)– Hardware & Software (CRIS & External Agency)– Application development (CRIS and external agency)– Route & Asset data scrutiny and publishing– Linkage with other Applications (PRS, COA, TMS,

LAMS, SMS, etc)

19


• Route & Asset Survey– On/Along Track –

• RDPS (Route Data File Preparation system) – trolley mounted device.

• POC completed in Delhi division• Started in other divisions.• Target date : 12/2015

– Off Track Assets –• Hand held devices with pre-defined forms to be used.

New Initiatives PlannedNew Initiatives Planned

• Passenger Information System in all coaches of mainline superfast trains

• Mapping of IR Assets including land, monitoring of encroachments, establishing IR Geo-portal

• Feasibility study for new Routes & Alignments

• Identification and assessment of flooding vulnerability of rail bridges

• Mapping of Land slides in Hilly Area/ Ghat Sections

• Feasibility of usage to increase safety at Unmanned Level Crossing without intervention of train drivers

• Disaster support, Disaster Management and Disaster vulnerability mapping

Expected Benefits from New InitiativesExpected Benefits from New Initiatives

• Enhancing safety in Train operations.

• Dissemination of information to Passengers on Real time basis.

• Effective utilization of Railways assets.

• Effective Asset/Land utilisation & Encroachmentmonitoring and prevention

• Significant cost and time reduction in Project implementation

• Identification of vulnerable stretches with respect to floods, landslides etc,

• Effective and efficient management of Railways

Institutionalization & Capacity BuildingInstitutionalization & Capacity Building

• MoU between Railways and ISRO is under finalisation.

• Establishing BHUVAN node in Railways Data Centre for departmentalapplications and citizen centric services

• This will provide Bhuvan imagery WMS service to Indian RailwaysGeoPortal

• Capacity Building –

• Training of Trainers for Centralized Training Institutes of IndianRailways.

• Customized courses on Geospatial Technology Tools for RailwayOfficials.

• Technical guidance for various geospatial applications
