AUDIO SYSTEM PA SYSTEM:A public address system

(PA system) is an electronic sound amplification and distribution system with a microphone, amplifier and loudspeakers, used to allow a person to address a large public, for example for announcements of movements at large and noisy air and rail terminals or at a sports stadium.

. PA systems with many speakers are widely used to make announcements in public, institutional and commercial buildings and locations. Intercom systems, installed in many buildings, have microphones in many rooms allowing the occupants to respond to announcements.

It is of two types: 1. Manual PA system 2. Automatic PA system

MANUAL PA SYSTEM: This system not uses any type of program. It is portable.

AUTOMATIC PA SYSTEM: one famous automatic pa system is:-

PC based IVRS: An interactive voice response

system that can recognize a customer’s voice and answer queries as well as any person. It can enhance our organizations efficiency unlike conventional interactive system.

Interactive voice response (IVR) is a technology that allows a computer to interact with humans through the use of voice and DTMF tones input via keypad.

VISUAL SYSTEM

TIB (TRAIN INFORMATION DISPLAY SYSTEM):  Display Systems Controlled by latest Micro Controller

Based Technology Displays the Arrival/ Departure Information of Trains along

with platform no. & Delays. Uniform visibility of Display Boards. High resolution with reliable LED Display. High readability. Data Displays specially designed Train information displays

are manufactured to provide an optimum viewing angle for passengers on the platform and report clear, accurate and timely information to passengers. 

All displays are designed to withstand constant vibration and are supplied in both water and dust proof housing.

TIB(TRAIN INFORMATION DISPLAY SYSTEM

CIB (COACH GUIDANCE SYSTEM): It has single cable for data input to all the

display boards of the same platform. Its extreme brightness assures the effective reflection of the message even in intense daylight. Here are some significant features of Passenger Coach Guidance System:

Adjustable LED Brightness. Low Power Consumption. (Specially

Designed SMPS)

DIGITAL CLOCK At railway station, there is a GPS Based

Master Slave Digital Clock.

Digital clocks with GPS synchronization are highly readable systems consisting of one master clock and several slave clocks. Master clock system updates its time from precision GPS data and sends syncs periodically to slave clocks for synchronization. Slave clocks can also work in standalone mode by updating its time from GPS receiver.

GPS SYSTEM The global positioning system is a

satellite-based navigation system consisting of a network of 24 orbiting satellites that are eleven thousand nautical miles in space and in six different orbital paths. The satellites are constantly moving, making two complete orbits around the Earth in just under 24 hours. If you do the math, that's about 2.6 kilometers per second.

The use of GPS and other satellite systems in order to track trains and relay real-time information has long been feted as a possible means to keep disgruntled passengers up to speed with information as to why their train is late, where it is and when it will arrive.

WI-FI SYSTEM WI-FI is a local area wireless computer networking

technology that allows electronic devices to connect to the network.

Equipment used onboard a moving train must be resistant to shocks and vibrations to ensure continuous system operation. For wireless devices, the antenna and Ethernet port are the main portholes for delivering internet access to passengers and connecting with back-end systems. A rugged design is essential to prevent the antenna and Ethernet cable from getting disconnected, which would cause a sudden interruption in network access.

Suggestion on platform There should be adequate security

arrangement around the platform & in the train. Cleanliness must be given utmost importance. Audio video visuals to be installed regarding safer & clean practices around the platform and on the train.
