High Speed Railway Development:
Presented by :
Indranath Biswas
Roll No : 10/CE/28
2
Railways
About 64000 km of rail network
Connects about 7000 stations
Carry 2 crore passengers & 2.5 million tones of goods everyday
About 1.5 millions of workforce

INDIAN RAILWAY NETWORK
4
RailwaysIn 1947 rail network of about 53000 kmAdded only 11000 km of network in last
66 years Modifications like-
-Gauge changing-Electrification-Computerization-Double tracks
5
Investment Plan Target of laying 1075 km of new
lines in 2014-700 km of Doubling of lines .
Investment of Rs. 57630 cr the year 2013-14 for the development, highest ever by Indian railways in any financial year
6
MISSION 2020 OF INDIAN RAILWAYSHigh speed rail travelRaising the speed of regular
passenger trains from 100-130 kmph to 160-200 kmph
To develop 50 world class stations which can be recognized internationally

RAILWAYS
The Indian Railway (IR), owned by the Ministry of Railways MOR, is the world’s second largest railways under a single management, it is the fourth largest in terms of length.
8
RAILWAYS Typically, rail projects in India fall
under the domain of:
Public Sector Undertakings (PSU): Container Corporation of India, Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Limited, Indian Railways Finance Corporation and so on.
Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV): Pipavav Rail Corporation Limited, Kutch Railway Company Limited etc.
9
RAILWAYS Private Players: Larsen and Toubro, Punj
Llyod, KMC Construction etc.
Over the years, India’s transport of goods and passenger traffic has increased considerably, but the length of the rail network has not kept pace with this growing traffic. This is due to low carrying capacity, poor quality of service and less value-added services being offered on a customized basis. This resulted in this sector losing its market share to the road sector.
10
ADVANTAGES OF HSR:Safety, comfort and reduced travel
timeCreate jobs and induces economic
growthHelps in eliminating regional
imbalancePressure on growing urban areas
can be relievedNew technology – exposure
11
RAILWAYSIndia: HSR will satisfy the latent demand that is present. We have captive riders instead of choice riders like in the USA
India: HSR makes sense due to the wide geographical extent of the country
12
DISADVANTAGES OF HSR:High capital cost, maintenance and
operation cost.Transfer of technology required.National vs. state subject issue. To
overcome this states can be given freehand in these projects.
No door to door service like in road based mobility using passenger cars.
13
RAILWAYSLimited number of stops as
compared to conventional railway system
India: Political will is needed. Span of planning and implementation is long and change in government can cause problems
14
RAILWAYSFactors related to India that can have positive influence on the growth of HSR in India:
Increased congestion. Accidents – HSR is the safest mode.India : Latent demand is present –
people are ready to pay for tier 2 and 3 in trains presently.
15
RAILWAYSVast geographical extent of the
country.Wide railway network in place that
can be utilized effectively. Air travel is already getting costlier.HSR can act as a catalyst to spread
out economic growth, if coupled with policy interventions.
16
Factors that can have negative influence on the growth of HSR in India:
Loss of line capacity by about 3 paths for each high speed train
High energy consumption; energy ∞ (speed)3
Environmental issues : noise, objections
17
Construction of new dedicated high speed linesCurves to be flatGrade separation at crossingsAdvanced signaling safety devices
18
Track maintenanceMobile maintenance unit (MMU) should be
operational.Fixed maintenance corridor blocks to be
available.No push trolley/motor trolley inspection in
face of the high speed train.On foot inspections schedule to be laid
down.Real time communication of engineering
staff with station masters, drivers and guards for imposing engineering speed restrictions, availing engineering blocks, etc
19
Suitability of steel channel sleepers
No speed restrictions are considered necessary on steel channel sleepers.
Observe the behaviour of these sleepers at least for one year on a monthly basis.
Sub-structure of bridges with steel channel sleepers to be kept under watch.
20
Need of fencing along the trackFencing to be provided selectively
depending on the possibility of trespassing of stray cattle etc.
Height of fencing should be 2 m and the bottom 0.3 m to be left clear to allow passage to accumulate water etc. Out sourcing of security patrolling to prevent tress passing and damage to fencing
Out sourcing of security patrolling to prevent tress passing and damage to fencing.
21
CONCLUSIONDevelopment of HSR is a need to
INDIA. We have time issues which can be counteracted by implementing this type of railway development.People can reach various places at least possible time. Using of advanced technologies would allow us to implement HSR.
