The newly developed Real-time Train Information System (RTIS) by the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CIRE) has been fitted with about 500 passenger locomotives of the South Central Railway (SCR).
These systems have been developed to monitor precise speeds and movement throughout the journey from first point to the destination.
It has been developed by the CIRE with the help of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)-Airports Authority of India’s GAGAN-Global Positioning System (GPS) aided geo-augmented navigation, originally developed for air traffic management.
The new system has facilitated automatic transmission of details on speed and movement of trains to the central control office.
