Real Time Train Information System (RTIS) based on ‘SIMRAN’


 Advanced Communication and Information Technologies have revolutionalised the ways we do our business. Indian Railways is no exception. Customer expectations have risen. Yesterday's better services are today's basic necessities. Availability of  accurate train running information on a click  of a button is one such facility public would love to have.

            Train information dissemination through 139 in the existing Train Information System over Indian Railway,  beingdependent on manual collection & feeding of train running information has certain limitations.
              To overcome limitations of the existing Train Running Information System, it was decided to develop GPS based train tracking system  jointly by RDSO & IIT-Kanpur.  The system has been developed and working successfully in number of trains.  It has now been decided to open the  Real-time Train Information System (RTIS) to public in  few trains to begin with effect from today  i.e.19 October 2011.  Minister of Railways Shri Dinesh Trivedi inaugurated this facility during the Economic Editors Conference being held here . The trains covered for this first phase  will be:-

(iii)    Train location with respect to next  stopping station in terms of  kms.

This information will be available on website “http://www.simran.in”.
