Networking of Data Loggers

This is a modern equipment used for monitoring the operation of important functions like Track circuits, Points, Signals, Battery chargers, Batteries etc. installed in Panel interlocked/RRI installations. These are microprocessor-based equipment logging the events of the change of status of the various functions in field and relay rooms and recording the precise time also. The data loggers are useful devices for detecting the cases of passing the signal at danger by the driver and give important clues in case of accidents. The data loggers are also used as predictive maintenance tools regarding deterioration of the performance of signalling gadgets.

Integrated Power Supply System (IPS)/ Non-conventional energy sources

With the introduction of more and more modern Electrical Signalling Systems, the dependency on the power supply becomes more essential. To get reliable power supply, the concept of Integrated Power Supply (IPS) has been introduced wherein, the different signal power supplies like 110 AC, 110 VDC, 24 DC etc. are derived from the common system, which works on common battery, i.e. DC-DC converter, modular power packs.

Train Control Communication

Movement of each and every train is monitored by a controller at the nearest divisional Hqrs. Facility is also provided to the driver or guard to communicate with divisional Hqrs through portable telephone which can be easily connected to the overhead line wires which are running parallel to the track or connected to the Emergency Telephone sockets provided at every KM in the section where controls are working through underground cables. An emergency portable telephone is kept in the Guard’s compartment of each and every train.

Optical Fiber Cable network

Optical Fiber Cable is laid along the track to provide a reliable and noise free communication. OFC network is widely used for Railway Control Communication taking advantage of its all long haul high bandwidth circuit interconnecting Railway Telephone Exchange. Passenger Reservation System, Unreserved Ticketing System, Network Freight Operating Management system have been transferred through railway OFC. In NF Railway distribution of various media for Telecommunication is as follows 1. OFC and quad cable in sections 2. OFC and 4/6 quad cable 3. Only OFC.

Railway Telephone Network

There is an in-house Railway Telephone Network connecting all-important offices, officials, Way stations, Divisional Headquarters & Zonal Head Quarters. Railway telephones exchanges are inter-connected through Railway OFC network, Railway Microwave network and are supported by rented BSNL channels as stand by.

Railway Microwave Communication Network

In NF Railway telecom network is supported by Railway Owned MW network using state of the art technology (Digital Microwave System). MW network is spread over all divisional headquarters, mostly along the tracks.

Wireless communication System

Driver, Guard, Supervisors & officers of permanent way, Mechanical, Electrical and Signal & Telecom departments are provided with 5 watts hand held walkie-talkies, which can be used to establish communication between moving train & adjacent stations. Every railway station is provided with 25 watts VHF set for this purpose.

Data network

There is an exclusive PRS network connecting all PRS Centers Of NF Railway. The centers are connected either through Railway OFC network or hired channels from BSNL. Similarly there is a Freight Operating Management System network for monitoring the movement of freight transport. Coach Operation Information System is a network for coach management and this is under implementation.

Passenger Amenities

Safety, security and comfortable journey of the passengers are the aims of Railways in train operation. To meet this objective, the following facilities have been provided in almost all-important stations. • Continuous announcement through public address system • Electronic display board • IVRS system for giving on line information about availability of Accommodation, arrival & departure of trains. • Call centers and integrated IVRS for giving all types of passenger Information.
